Anhinga

This is an Anhinga that I took in Florida. My family really likes it. I won an award off of it in a little art show. when I was in Florida that time, I saw quite a few new birds. There was a Limp-kin, a flock of white ibises, a lot of Muscovy ducks, a tri colored heron, a green heron, and some type of duck that i do not know. It was fun.

sand dollars

I just learned a lot about sand dollars. They are a sea urchin. They can be found in any ocean that is not cold. When it is alive they are brown and furry. When they die they become hollow and float up to the surface of the ocean and float ashore. They loose their fur when they die and become light brown. When we where in Pensacola Florida we where on a hotel on the beach. When we went out to swim we would find a lot of parts of sand dollars. We only found two full round ones.

turtle and nature

This is a turtle that came in our backyard last year, I used to want to be a photographer. I love all nature. I can not stand New York City, it is all city, not much nature in it. Maybe there is a park or two or three or four or five. Well I have never been there, but my father has.

He says there isn't much. Plus, there probably used to be a beautiful tree that was where the Empire State building is now. Well that is the way I think of it.

meadow lark and New Mexico

When we came back from New Mexico, My father hit a poor little meadow lark. It was so pretty. I am sad it had to die. It had such a pretty belly. When we where in NM, we went to a nature preserve. I saw so many new birds there. There where; northern shoveler, ring necked duck, wood duck, mountain chickadee, lesser scaup, a small dove, black duck, and black chinned hummingbird. We do have a road runner hear, but I saw a lot in NM. I got a video and pictures of one.

guinea pigs

I thought it was so cute when our guinea pig, timothy, got up on top of Cc. That was a day when we sat down and gave them "Exercise". In order to give them exercise, you have to pick Cc up and put him right above the floor. He will start trying to run away from you. He will not know that he is still in the air. At least it works with our guinea pig.

red breasted nuthatch

When I came home from work with my mother I looked at the porch, I saw a red breasted nuthatch that had hit the window. I was able to study the wings and feet. We buried him out next to Lucky and Smirk. Smirk is a lizard that my brother caught in Florida. He was a anole. We left for a trip and had someone take care of him. When we returned we watched a movie and went upstairs and saw that smirk had been mummified. It didn't help that we just watched the "mummy".

first sunflower

This was my first sunflower to open its head. We use its seeds as a snack now. The seed that I planted to get it was from a bag of

bird seed. Unfortunately I was out of town when my mother took the picture. I did not get to see it with all the petals.

my first pileated pictures

This is a titmouse and a pileated woodpecker. I was taking pictures of birds when the titmouse landed on the feeder. I started taking pictures of it. Then I heard a sound like something just landed on the utility pole. I thought that it was just the usual red bellied woodpecker. I turned my camera to the utility pole. To my surprise there was a pileated woodpecker. She sat there for and while and I took a lot of pictures. That was the first time I got pictures of a pileated.

speedy

This is speedy. He is a class pet that my brother got to take care of for the summer. He got us interested in Guinea pigs. that is what made us get Cc and Timothy.

older Luky

At first Luky was a tiger gecko, that is when a leopard gecko is young.

This is when she was a leopard gecko.

Luky

Papa's job

My father is a glassblower and travels to art shows for a living. I got to try it myself and made some blobs of glass.

Jerry the brain less pooch

This is Jerry. She was Toms brother. Do you think She is cute? Well, She had NO brain. None. Her eyes where so blank that She kept running in to things and thinking that every thing was a cantaloupe.
