St Francis helps us look after our bird sanctuary. I didn't realize until after I took the shot (after the rain yesterday) that the statue itself had 2 shades of green! See more Project Green shots at Anna Carson's page.
OK, I'm back! I wandered over to Buster's yard today and found a new sign there!
There are other critters around here, but he's obviously my favorite! His passion is chasing anything we'll throw and bringing it back to us. Can you smile with a tennis ball in your mouth??? Click here to see others' entries for Camera Critters Sunday.
Click here to see more where this came from: History in a Pecan Shell -- Originally called James or Jamestown, Texas in 1906, it was renamed late that year to curry favor with the railroad. Blackwell was a railroad stockholder. A post office was granted the following year and the town became a tri-county shipping point and supply center.In 1903 the Blackwell Methodist Church was organized, followed by a Baptist church in 1909 and a Church of Christ in 1928. The town still had a population of 500 at the end of WWII. It reached 286 for the 1980 Census and 339 ten years later. Blackwell's first school began classes in 1907 and a rural "Consolidated High School" was established in 1929.In 1945 the town reported a population of 500 and thirteen businesses. In 1980 its population was 286 and in 1990, 339. In 2000 the population was 360.
The first time I drove by this house, I thought this fella was concrete yard art! He was sitting on top of the post he's standing on here. When I pulled up out front to get his picture, he stood up as if to say, "OH YEAH, I'm REAL, all right...come on in!"
For my first post to Camera Critters Sunday, I have to post a favorite shot of my favorite critter, our boy Nate. Sure wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that he's spoiled....but we have bought a truck with a BIGGER backseat for him since this was taken several years ago!
I've discovered a new theme...Project Yellow at Anna Carson's blog and decided to join in today.
I've pulled an oldie from the files ... this was taken from our deck in 06 while the water was so low. This is God's colors, not Adobe's! :-) See more Sky Watch Friday photos by clicking this link.
And drive two blocks and see this one!
And the next day, you're huddled under an overpass on I-20 hiding from a tornado.....
And dodging golf ball sized hail......
After you've just been taking photos of a beautiful mural in downtown Sweetwater....
And noticing the rattlesnake theme again (see bottom right corner).....
