Recent pictures by me (dialup warning)

[ashling]

I post a lot of pictures I find of cats and dogs, etc. that I find on the internet. Even when I explain that, somebody always asks, "Is that your cat?"

Well, all these were taken either in my office or on a recent trip to Decatur 30 miles down the road.
And, yes, that is my cat. :)

1. I see I'm not the only one with a stapler fetish

Whew, now I don't feel so all alone. ;)

That's a nice looking cat, btw.

2. Do you mean that, or are you just trying to get 1000 posts?

3. The Whistle Stop Cafe. Lovely.

Petrified Wood Station.

Lovely little slice of Americana. Thanks. :)

4. Texas Plaza - Decatur TX

I love places like this. As the Gas Station sign implies, the whole thing is covered with petrified wood. I stumbled on this the other day - the sign in the window indicated that the cafe is open for lunch, weekdays, so I am headed back to investigate the history of this slice of Americana.

5. Your cat is gorgeous

Do you know what type of bird that is on the wire..looks a little like a mockingbird but the tail is not right....:)

6. Thanks

She has the greenest eyes sometimes. Sometimes they look yellow in photos.

I think the bird is a scissor tail flycatcher. They are the state bird of Okla. I think. We had a laot of them at our place in the Texas Hill country (central Tx) It was a kind of gray day. The bird had a little more colr than that, but it just sat there on a telephone guywire until I had the camera put up.

It does look like a mockingbird in shape and color - except for the tail. I love to see them dancing over a grassy area looking for grasshoppers.

9. Definitely a scissor-tail

One of the coolest birds in North America.

10. I disagree.

The coolest bird in North America is the Sabine's Gull.:)

11. Ahem

As long as we agree to disagree agreeably :) ... but I am afraid Xemasab's right on this.:shrug:
