Irises

My irises have exploded. So happy to see them again.

After a Week, the eggs have hatched

Thousands of tadpoles have hatched in just a week!

Along with the 1/4" tadpoles are 1.5" long slender blue dragonflies.The pond is amazing!

Another big green frog floats on the surface.

The branches create an abstract composition.I need to keep the image in my mind!

This is a new title for my page!!!

I thought it was time to rename the site... I no longer have two dogs. Just Charisma, my little companion in nature!
Lately, I have been taking a lot of photos of things that interest me for future reference. Pehaps they will be paintings or another form of artwork.
I just don't know. I thought it would be good to keep tabs on many ideas and see where they take me.
Here's to a new journey!!!

SPRING 2010

The Pond in Fink Park with Willows

Spring 2010

Everything is beginning to grow! Just love all of it!
The blossoms are so cool. Minature tails.

Spring 2010

There is something I really love about spring....
The Colors. So faint, at first, just a hint and the first ones I see are the Willows. A slight greening of the branches. More of a yellow, soft from a distance, you can just see it while driving on the highway.
My body feels it, a tiny bit of excitement, re-awakening from dreary winter. And then, in a week or two... S~P~R~I~N~G ! The world is coming back to life. Colors are everywhere. I am revived!

Dervish and Whisper: the Bat Dogs

Some new

pictures of the "kids". The bat hunters.

Bats on the Path

Last night when we walked the dogs, Dervish and Whisper pounced on a leaf in the middle of the sidewalk. Together.
The the "leaf" turned over and sort of hissed. A tiny sound from a tiny creature. I saw its teeth and immediately knew what it was. A BAT.
Not lively, but injured or sick. I pulled the dogs away as soon as I realized what it was.
Later, I walked back, armed with a plastic container, lid and flashlight. If it was still there, in the same spot on the sidewalk, I would capture it... without touching it, of course. Rabies?
I swapped out the lid for some mesh fabric when I got home. I duct taped it securely, and placed the container in our garage for overnight safe keeping.
In the morning, Ed made calls to Animal Control and, after MANY calls, to many places, Lake County responded. An officer came out to pick it up. The bat was still alive... barely. They would call us if it was rabid.
I don't think the dogs were bitten, their rabies shots are current. Our vet was not concerned. If the bat turns out to be rabid ... we will see about rabies booster shots. We will take all precautions.
