Randomness

My children and my mother will tell you I have a habit of chasing things.  Today I took a look at my dash aka the zoo and I realized that every stuffed animal that is on my dash are animals I have chased.

Lizards – I know Gila Monsters are poisonous.  They are fast but I caught up with one and got a few great pictures.

Possums – they are not a whole lot of fun to chase because they eventually just give up and everyone thinks I took a picture of a dead animal.  I have chased one or two….  I even had a dog pull one out of the bathroom closet in my old yeller trailer. 

Coyotes – it was in Texas and I saw one trotting down the road.  I slammed on the brakes and jumped out.  Mom was yelling don’t you be chasing it.  I didn’t because there are certain animals you have to show respect for.  Especially if they can run faster than you.  I did get a good picture. 

Spiders – I have danced with tarantulas in Arizona and Guatemala.  I have had quite a few close encounters with some unknown spiders as well. 

Today I found a stuff vulture….  Yes I have chased vultures.  I feel a kinship with vultures and crows.  Someone told me that my spirit animal is either a vulture or a crow and maybe that is why I feel a kinship with them.  This week I was able to dance with the vultures...  It was awesome.

Now I just need to find a bee…..

Random pictures of random things.  I will post pictures of LBJ State Park Tuesday.

I named your angel "Captain Angel" because of the captain's bars. I can't figure out what's behind the elephant but it makes for an interesting picture.
