I have never been able to pass up a pretty face.  Over the years I've taken many pictures of flowers.  Maybe one day I'll put a bunch of them togather in a slide show.  I am always amazed at how perfect each one is.

As I mowed the yard I noticed this Killdeer in the grass beside the road.  She would never let me walk up to her but if I rode up to her on the mower she let me get with in a few feet of her.  Maybe because the cars pass by with in feet doing fifty miles an hour and that doesn't bother her. 

While I made friends with her it all changed after I found her nest.  They are hard to find.  One laid her nest out in the open in the gravel and even if you were looking right at the next you still might miss it. 

After finding the nest she would always put on a show for me.  She would only go a few feet away and then put on that she was hurt and it would be easy to catch her.  You notice her back is toward me and her eye never leaves me and the moment I make a move she move's just a little bit further away hopping I'll follow her away from her nest and if I do follow when we get far enough away she just flies off. 

The other night the news said to look at the moon.  We were on our way to bed, but I grabbed the camera and went and sat on the porch and took this picture.  I love a full moon.  I aways have the feeling that it's watching over me and that makes me feel good knowing that he helps light my way when sometimes it's dark.
