the Birth of a NEW MadSnapper??

 As my smiling husband watched me with my camera in hand......

OOPS! wrong setting

 I aimed it up at the new growth on the pine tree and said
"I am turning over a new leaf and am going to take BETTER photos instead of MORE"
Smiley Bob's comeback..
"Well you have to, you can't possibly take MORE!"     ( he is sooo not funny)

 The first one was two dark, so I FIDDLED with the whatever settings and I LOVE it.  If you like Details click on photo to enlarge and if you don't then don't. You have my permission to miss all these lovely close up details of this tiny 2 inch new growth

 Oh LOOK, there is the left over hibiscus root

 and a pine cone in the bushes......

 Soooooo! The no longer Madly Snapping MadSnapper whose intentions are to take Better Not More, decided to pull a chair from the deck and place it behind the bushes..........to  be continued

Tanglewood Drive

 Almost done with the Tanglewood Walk-A-Bout

 My first ever wooden stop sign, it is rotting away...

 Yes, they do have crime

 This little guy ran across in front of me, above is merged 3 shots as he skipped and below after he reached the tree of safety from the MadSnapper (click to enlarge to see how cute he is)

Pre-Historic Bone?

Look, Mommy, I found a pre-historic bone!

Daddy says, Jake you are so adorable! (no, he does not know i posted this)

 This is a good bone!

 MY bone!  note that sweet little round paw holding it

 Just a hisbiscus root daddy jerked out of the ground (notice the sweet little round paw?)

YUM! I love HIBISCUS roots...
