Life Bird!

Yellow-Billed Loon at Canyon Lake. He was too far out to get a good picture, but we could see him well enough to make the call.
We went by Landa Park in New Braunfels on the way back and got some good Lesser Scaup and Wood Ducks though.

Choke Canyon State Park

We like it here.

Our morning view

Last night was busy though. Before midnight we heard Great Horned Owls calling, so we got up and looked at them. More toward morning we heard Javelina snorting and squealing outside our bedroom window. We didn’t get up for them, but Annie did. She dashed across us to bark them away. Twice.

Annie

Annie’s vocabulary evolves. A long time ago, she starting having a bad reaction to the word “bath”. She didn’t necessarily mind the actuality of the bath, but she would shiver at the mention of it, so we started spelling it. She learned that. We switched to referring to it as “going to see Melissa” the groomer. She likes Melissa, but learned to associate her name with the dreaded bath so we had to make up a new reference. Last week Annie had a “balloon ride”.
