365 Days of Photos – Day 93
Metal Dog was quite happy to sniff a new plant in the flower bed.
D = Donkey
This Donkey appears to be a guard donkey. He hangs out in a field with horses. It is my understanding that donkeys do not like coyotes, dogs, etc. and will protect farm animals from such creatures in the event of an attack.
Guard Donkey
So lets hear it for this brave little donkey!
Shy donkey
Though he seems a bit shy and not a hero that likes to have a big fuss made over him!

A few years ago my partner and I were fortunate to find this beautiful church. It is a place of love, diversity and charity.

Red winged blackbird
B = Bluebonnets
Bluebonnets – the state flower of Texas.
The Texas Bluebonnet
Bluebonnets start popping up around the 1st of April. They stay for a couple weeks then they are gone.
During that couple week period Texans race to take photos of their children, their grandchildren and their pets in patches of bluebonnets.
Sugar in the bluebonnets
“The Girls” in the bluebonnets
The first two photos I took today, specifically for this post. The last two were taken last year at the peak of bluebonnet season….because I am like all the other crazy Texans….looking for the perfect bluebonnet shot of my family and pets.

Do ducks have gangs?
I stopped by a local lake today to take some pictures. These 2 ducks started chasing the little guy with the black head and puffed up feathers. Every time he slowed down they kicked up water and took out after him again.
When he finally reached the shore he started chasing 2 ducks that kinda looked like little outcast ducks.
I’m not sure…but I think there maybe a need for some duck police to patrol these waters!
A = Anticipation
According to Dictionary.com Anticipation is the act of anticipating. Realization in advance; foretaste. Expectation or hope. Intuition, foreknowledge, or prescience.
I love to watch my dogs play. I especially love this little behavior Sugar displays when she is playing with one of the other dogs.
If the other dog stops to potty or goes to “base” (also known as the patio – where apparently she isn’t allowed to rough house – must be a dog rule) to take a break from wrestling and chasing, Sugar waits in great anticipation for play to resume.
Do dogs anticipate? I would suggest watching Sugar “anticipate” the return of her playmate…the definition describes her behavior perfectly.
She stares, she waits, she anticipates a future of fun…..Then one of her playmates takes one step off base and all bets are off…..Sugar is ready to play. She has waited long enough!

Thanks to Lady Bird Johnson and her legacy, Spring in Texas is an explosion of wildflowers. One of the first flowers to make an appearance each Spring is this little purple guy. He is so tiny….but there are few places you can go and not see him and his little purple friends filling the boulevards and lining the highways. There are millions of them all over Texas…aren’t they cute?!
