Welcome to the month of May Happy (Monday) campers. Mother’s Day is next Sunday, just a little FYI. It’s almost full on summer here in the northern hemisphere. Baseball is underway, the election cycle gets weirder everyday. But enough chit chat, let’s get to that thing we do here.
Although we decided a long time ago that an “explanation” of Happy Monday is not necessary each week, it seems awkward to post a column of photographs without writing something. So each week I struggle to craft a clever introduction. So, here we go! Continue reading

Some have incredible speed, such as deer, while others have sharp claws, powerful muscles or rows of gleaming teeth. Some animals camouflage themselves into the background while the purpose of some camouflage, like that of zebra, make it difficult to distinguish individuals from the group.

Sheep are very nearsighted and have to be led to food and water. They cannot drink fast moving water and can actually drown trying.
