Marching...

We drove through the strip pits yesterday on our way to Walmart.  We saw this fellow/gal crossing the road.  When I got out to take photos, he did not slow down.  He turned around and was going in front of our Rav4, so I picked him up to help him along and he just didn't stop.

By the way, notice how he almost glows?  You are seeing the real thing...he really did seem to glow with color.  And when Roger and Sarah went mushroom hunting, they found one just as brightly colored, and maybe a little bit more so.

Does anyone else do this?

Any time I have a vine, I am more than likely going to to do some 'art' with it.  I love to wind them together and watch them grow.  This wisteria vine was no exception.

On his on turf

This was the only creature that cooperated when we went up to the place north of Danville, Illinois...where you go to view herons and bald eagles. This was back when the flooding was going on. We saw herons from a distance and saw a bald eagle or two...not sure if it was two or if it was just the same one in a different place.
