Fun Monday - Five Words, Five Pictures

Nekked Lizard Adventures is hosting todays Fun Monday.
There are two Nekked Lizards, so I'm assuming they are co-hosting. They gave us an assignment with some parameters:

FIVE PICTURES - FIVE WORDS PER PICTURE.

I guess they wanted less jabberwocky. Well I'm ready to shut up and go 5 x5. Are you?


A favorite place to walk!




The sky reveals a raptor.




The brush conceals the deer.






Gopher snakes enjoy the sun.





And I enjoy it all!



Please sign up to join the fun. Or, just pop over to the hosts blog to find all the participating links. I know the Nekked Lizards will welcome you.

One more Fiver: They are not really nekked.

No, we are not really nekked, that would be a travesty - you are right, but the little lizards and other creatures around our ranch run around sans clothing, so we pride ourselves as the proprietors - protecting their rights not to wear anything that would detract them from getting eaten by birds of prey - who also incidently do not wear clothing... boy did I get of track.... your pictures remind me of our place... great views...

What gorgeous photos and you "captioned" them so well. Why am I not surprised?
And, yes, they are too nekked. They don't shower with their clothes on.

REQUEST: Have all your readers sign up for Karmyn's Shower. I'm not blogging much and won't be for the next week. The link takes them to the "original" post. I will "advertise" it more when I return home.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! We could use some of those gopher snakes around here because the gophers in our subdivision are multiplying like crazy the last couple of years. Unless it's just the name of the snake and they don't eat gophers at all. And in that case, forget I said anything at all :o)

I would walk a lot more if I had that scenery.....much more enjoyable than walking with lots of car exhaust around my neighborhood in downtown Atlanta!

What a lovely place you live, Pamela!

I am jealous of the wide open spaces, very pretty and peaceful!

I can see WHY you would enjoy your walks, although I might be really freaked out if I crossed a snake's path, even if it were a gopher snake as good looking as your photo.

I'm so hoping the one of the gopher snake was with a telephoto and lots of cropping! *shivers*

The animal in the last shot on my blog is a meerkat from the LA Zoo.

I enjoyed your photos and captions for Fun Monday this week! It’s cool the way you put your ‘copyright’ and blog name on the pictures … and I realize I should probably be doing the same thing, but isn’t it time-consuming? I posted my Fun Monday at Small Reflections yesterday but didn’t have time to visit until today. I hope you’ll drop by when time permits.
Hugs and blessings,

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
