Sir Aslan Doogie Of Oakhaven

Aslan is one of those “Best All Around” sort of beasts.

He’s a messy drinker, but generally a happy guy.

He runs …jumps …swims,and shakes like a REAL dog.He doesn’t mind a summer storm at all.Consider that happy demeanor …the penchant for cleanliness .The obvious adoration for his mistress! :~DNot much escapes Aslan’s watchful eye.Ever vigilant …hoping … hoping … hoping!Yup! That’s my pooch!

Each Campfire …

Each campfire lights anew

The flame of friendship true

The joys I’ve had in knowing you

Will last our whole lives through!

And as the embers die away

Fire Bird

We wish that we might ever stay

Bare Fire Hand

Gloved Fire Hand

But since we cannot have our way


We’ll meet again some other day!

– Traditional Girl Scout song

♫ There’s A Big Ol’ White Duck … ♫

♫ There’s a big ol’ white duck standin’ in the water ♫

♫ Big ol’ white duck doin’ what he otter ♫

♫ He preened and

he preened and

he preened real well ♫

♫ Spit out some water and he said,

“Do Tell!” ♫

♫ “Now I’m a big ol’ white duck

Swimmin’ in the water” ♫

♫ “Quack! Quack! Quack!” ♫

Hopped To The Porch

A visitor on the porch

May I help you?

Intruder detected

Is that ... a ... camera?

Considering jumping for it

The Red-Eye Special

It appears that some things have red eyes even when they’re not tired!

They only look Photo-Shopped. Really they're the real thing.

♫ Eensy-Weensy ♫

♫ The eensy-weensy spider ♪ Came into my sight. ♫

♫ Out came my camera  ♪ because I had no fright! ♫

 

Spikey-Haired Spider

 

♫ “Click” went the shutter ♪ time and time again ♫

Buff Shade-Wearing Spider Guy Coming Over The Hill!

♫ And the eensy-weensy spider ♫

I LOVE the face on this spider's back!

Not All Drops Are Round! (And sometimes they spit!!!)

When will this drip drop?

That ‘!’ pretty well sums it up!  I love what the fog does to the yard. :~)

♫ C-H-I-C-K-E-N … That Ere The Way You Spell Chicken ♫

The Chicken and Bunny Barn is one of my favorite places at our county fair. Here are some of the denizens of the chicken side …

This guy stuck his head out of the cage and pecked my friend! Good thing I had my camera for protection!

I discovered that chickens have tongues! But do they have lips? That's still undecided.

Check out this one's eye. Beautiful!

May I see your license, Ma'am? (Doesn't he look like State Trooper material?)

The feather pattern -- Wow!

Beak-to-beak

And now for something completely different!

BIG chicken foot!

Feathered foot

Here’s something else, too! :~)

Bustin' out of the cage! (Well, sort of)

Hush Little Baby

Apparently the parents told this baby to freeze as my car approached — and stay frozen when I got out and stuck the camera in its face. It fell asleep at some point — startling awake when I picked it up to move it to safety.

Oh My! A headless baby robin standing in the road!

A Feathery Tale

It was on my door …

in the driveway ...

at the stop sign ...

when I ordered at Sonic ...

when the carhop arrived ...

at my destination ...

supersaturated black and white ...

shot in sepia ...

shot on 'cool' ...

shot 'warm' ...

and back to 'standard'
