Shoes!

Image
Going to join a new meme today called Two Shoes Tuesday from Josie Two Shoes! How it works is each week Josie writes a one word prompt where you can then share a short story, poem, essay, thought, or, photo relating to that word. We'll since today's topic is about shoes...... These are my current ones! They are just regular tennis shoes that my dad got me last Christmas! As far as shoes go I usually like to get running shoes, like the ones pictured below..... These are my old shoes. I've had them since late 2007. I still use them, just not as often. Only when I have to get into the mud or, dirt. Or, when I feel like running, since they are running shoes! The only thing that I don't like about running shoes is that I slip easily when I walk on wet tiles. My new ones pictured above have a flat surface so, I don't slip as easily.... I like my new shoes better but, I sometimes miss my old running shoes! I like to run so, running shoes have always been my choice...

Not Good Day to be Outside!

We had alot of scattered showers and thunderstorms today in Houston. I saw a lightning bolt strike the ground right in front of me when I was driving, the ground shook, it was pretty cool. Joining Cate in her 6WS, click the box below to join in or, see other entries.

Nature Report 8!

Image
Hey and welcome to another edition of Nature Report!!!! Blue jay! I wonder if it's the one that I rescued? I doubt it. Some sign that I saw remembering the judge and commissioners of Harris County. I saw it near the trail that I ride on, there are alot of signs like this around there. I wonder why? White Dove? I think this is a white dove. And I think the above two pictures are of a mocking bird, i'm pretty sure. This is a bird that has been keeping me company along with the white dove when I was holding a sign for my dad's store. That's what I've been doing lately, I've been holding a sign for my dad's from 10am to 12pm for the past couple of weeks now. It's not that bad. I like to be outdoors! Skink! That's what type of lizard this is. They can have brown or, blue tails. I don't think they come in any other kind of colors, I've only heard of brown and blue. The blue color (I just read) means that it is a juvenile. ...

Nature and Galveston Trip Pics!

Image
Opossum! Don't know what this is? Looks like a mini snake or, a type of worm. Light brown or, yellow spider, don't know what type of spider it is. Some statue in the middle of Galveston. Nice colorful Galveston pier! The birds seem happy! Wonder why? Lots of dead fish littered the Galveston and Texas coast on Sunday August 12, not a great day to go the beach. You can read about it here,  http://www.kens5.com/news/ Some early 1900's or, late 1800's house that I took a picture of in Galveston, TX, look at the birds in the trees, can't really tell what type of bird they are. I didn't see them when I took the picture. Bridge that connects to Galveston. Back to good old Houston! Ok, that's it! I hope to bring y'all more! See y'all later!

Nature Report 6!

Image
About these: I wasn't supposed to talk about them so, shh!!!! Spider eggs, we find them every summer, usually near the entrance.... One of the baby spiders. Adult, spider that I think laid the eggs. Black bellied whistling ducks, I think these are whistling ducks, found in George Bush Park. They have a red bill, long orange legs, black belly, and a large white patch on the back of it's wings. I was going to ride my bike to Cinco Ranch but, the path was still flooded from all the rain that we had gotten last month. I probably could have made it but, I was afraid of finding a snake or, alligator. I saw something moving in under the water when I was taking this picture, I think it might have been an alligator. I think this is the Mark's Ranch but, i'm not sure, you know that thing that I talked about before.  http://josephsreallife.blogspot.com Another week exploring nature, oh! And I forgot! I don't know if i'm supposed to s...

Nature Report!

Image
Peacocks: Peacock 1: "I don't know.... what do you think?"                        Peacock 2: " Well.... it's got a pool!"  Some mushroom I found in my front yard. Green tree frog! Not much to say about them. They don't seem to be getting much better. I named them yesterday, The orange one's (middle) name is Jr. and one of the brown one's (bottom) name is dinosaur or, Little D, and the other brown one's (top) name is Richard or, Richie, he's the biggest one. Then hopefully we will be able to find a way to get rid of whatever's been bothering them. And now time to honor a dear friend, I found him in the garage, i'm not sure what happened, it was all black and it stinks. The only thing that I could recognize of him was his tail. I think he's been there for about a week. Sad to see he is gone. Bye my dear friend, I'll miss you! And on that sad note, good bye and I hope to see y'all again next wee...
