Tri-colored Heron

This is a tri-colored heron at Magnolia Plantation. We have seen great blue herons, snowy egrets, marsh hens, grebes, ducks and ibises before, but never a tri-colored heron. We saw it on Wednesday afternoon on a nature "train" ride. It was pretty cold.

Tree Frog Still Life

Doug took this picture a few months ago when we found this frog living in the guest bathroom. 

Cat nap

Kina took a nice long nap in the sun on Sunday. I wish I could've joined her!

Dog and cat

This is a posed picture- I put them together, but they stayed together voluntarily. I caught them later both on the bed...not near each other but in the same space. 

The latest addition?

We recently acquired a kitten as a pet for Daru. I woke her up from a nap in the sun for this picture. She is a snowshoe Siamese, and we think she is about seven weeks old. We are not calling her by her potential name yet. She may become officially ours tomorrow.
