Visiting Fort Worth Attractions

I love my hometown!  Fort Worth has some amazing places to visit.
A few weeks ago we had the joy of visiting the zoo.  
                                             Image result for fort worth zoo
Today I am sharing a few of the photo's of the animals . . .
           Zoo:
                       I managed a nice close up of this guy.  
We had a lovely spring day the day we visited.   It was a few days after a very bad storm. 
                        
                                                                Source
The zoo does an excellent job of providing a beautiful place to visit as well as a great environment for the animals.   Sadly during the
storm quite a few of the Pelicans died.  The above photo was part of a news article about the storm.  Click on the source for the story.

We were grateful for beautiful weather . . . 
Zoo:
Although sadly some of the plants had taken a beating too.  And 
there were lots of leaves still on the ground. 
The primates weren't affected.  The have a huge enclosure and indoor area . . . 
Zoo:
He looks like he's thinking about eating the lettuce he's collected.
                              Zoo:
Sometimes you have to wait for the shot.  
Zoo:
And then . . . 
Zoo:
. . .You have to jog to catch up with the rest of your party.
Or just forget it and enjoy taking photo's. 
t looks like he's following that crowd ahead.  I don't know if it was a good thing getting him that scooter for the day.  We did spend a lot of time trying to 'catch up' with him.  He has moved that fast in years!
 Zoo Collage 2:
I guess we all had our distractions.  I kept stopping and taking shots of fences.  Thinking "Oh Tex would love this one!"
Zoo:
I did manage to get some great shots!
Zoo:
We need to go back and take notes next time.  We read the sign but I'm clueless now what these little guys are!
Kangaroo:
Everyone had a fabulous time.  Except . . . 
Tatooe Boy's Phone:
. . .The tatooed man that lost his phone.  He said his wife dropped it.  Hmm. . . I bet that's what they all say!
Zoo Boy Turtle:
I loved the aquarium.  I spent forever trying to get a shot of a huge 
alligator.   I'll have to go back and try again!

Admittedly I did get more shots like this than the animals . . . 
Jumping Blue Zoo Boy:
  There are lots and lots of boy shots on this post.  I'd love you to go over and read the post.  It's a Blessing to see him running and jumping. 
Update . . . Next week he starts Karate again after a year and a half off.  Praise God!

And now back to the animals.  Today I'm only sharing one more. 
I have a few left for another post.  But I didn't want to leave without sharing this one.  We'll actually two . . . 
Zoo:
        Every Texas zoo needs a horse and a long horn!

The Fort Worth zoo is definitely worth vistin' if your every in the area!

Cool cross country jump! I think this could be easily done by drilling big holes in a fallen log or even 4x4, then bundling cut grasses (I'd wrap the bases with floral wire) and inserting into the holes.:

Fridays Hunt 2

Joining Teresa at Eden Farms for Friday's Hunt a party to share photo's from a theme that Teresa chooses . . . 

This weeks challenge: Start w/ B, Outside and Week's Favorite.
Here's mine 
Starts with B ...
T:
A sweet little Birthday Cake box that my DIL made me for my Birthday.  It opens up and you can put 'Bling' inside.  The Cowboy didn't 'get it'.  There wasn't any Bling inside. Maybe next year! LOL

Outside. . . 
Eagle:
It was so hard to get this shot with my phone.  We were driving home from church and I barely saw this flock of birds.  All I could see was big and black.  The Cowboy turned around and we realized they were Bald Eagles. 

Week's Favorite. . .
T:
I was beginning to take down the Christmas ornaments.  I took the ribbon off and my grandson began to play with it.  The roll slid out and it looked like a telescope!  So I had to get a shot!

Do you have a favorite photo.  Or an inside shot.  Or something 
starting with Letter C?  Join Teresa on Friday.  The link is open through Sunday.

Critters On Parade

Last night was our towns Christmas Parade. 
It's become an annual event for me, my grandson and Daisy.
And a few Critters . . .
                         
The parade was a lot bigger this year.  Filled with critters . . . 
Parade:
I bought myself a birthday present the other day.  I upgraded my PicMonkey account!  See the Holly in the corner?  The snow effect is from PicMonkey too. 
It was a beautiful night.  Perfect for a parade.  We just pretended it was snowing!
                            
There were probably 2 dozen dogs with this group.  The one in the red sweater isn't on a leash.  
Actually I'm not sure that any of these dogs are on a leash. 
I'm having trouble with my camera.  I think I need a new battery.
It's running really, really slow.  I wish I could have gotten more shots.  
See the cute little holly in the corner? I just love PicMonkey!

And one more just to tease you to come back over on Monday for more parade shots . . . 
                              Parade Firetruck

                      The fire trucks always lead the parade.   
It was a fun night.  I didn't get a good photo of Daisy but she had a great time.  We saw a couple of neighbors with their dogs. 

 I love living so close to city hall!  I/we are Blessed to live in a place that we can enjoy things like the Christmas Parade!

Such Sweet Critters

My Saturday turned really sweet when I go a text with pictures . . .
                       
                             To see him with his horse brought tears of joy!  

After a supervised visit with his dad he asked to go to the barn and see his horse. 

                               Notice all the blue? And such sweet Critters.
This donkey is Shrek.  He is really interested in shoe laces.
Horse slobber makes you smile!


Curious George likes horses too.  
A little background information.  He was injured last May while at his dads house (weekend visitation)
It took months and many doctors to get a complete diagnosis and treatment plan.  As sad as it was that 
he was injured it was because of the injury we were able to find out that there was a problem with his hip and the 
growth plate requiring surgery.  He'll be in the colorful Blue cast for 5 more weeks.  When it is removed 
he will walk with a walker for 6 months.  It will be a long recovery. 

This morning  was the first court required and supervised visitation with his dad.  He has not seen his dad in over a year.

                                                   He is a Happy Boy
             Who wouldn't be with a horse and a Curious George

Sweet Dogs

The Cowboy has to keep me reined in because I would be the weird old lady with lots of dogs.
So since I can't bring them home I'll just share them here . . .

A Labradoodle.  Part Lab. Part Poodle.  And adorable.  I can only imagine what a puppy would be like.
I think I really want maybe a 3 year old trained one. LOL.  There is one in our apartment that is about 2 1/2
I've watched him from puppy stage to adult hood.  His family was truly dedicated!

Or how about . . .

A Chesapeak Bay Retriever.  I've wanted one of these forever.  They have the look and agility and attitude of a Lab but a soft curly coat.  They aren't very common in Texas.



Why can't I have them all?

So, what puppy would you bring home?

The Cat With ____ Lives

The Cat with 9  Lives ...

We've lost count on how many lives this cat has used up.  The saying goes 9 lives.  He's crept
past 9 by a long shot.

Rascal has quite a history.   He came to live with us as a kitten.  I searched and searched for a couple of
the earliest pics of him and couldn't find them.  When I stumble across them I'll have to add them for part two.

This is one of the earliest ones.  I guess he is probably about 2.  This shot was taken around Christmas.
He came to live with us at Christmas . . .

He immediately became best friends with Daisy.   He does three things all day.
Beg to be petted.  Nap.  Mess with Daisy.  And of course eat and the other thing!


Laying around with Daisy.    Odd huh?  They are in our game room through the tile is the living room and rest of the house.  The screen keeping them in is an old fireplace screen I think.  It is metal and has scroll work.  He could easily go through but he never did.  He stayed with Daisy.



I couldn't find the original photo but look in the upper right corner.  They are in the same room with out the fence.  Rascal is right beside Daisy!


A typical cat settling in for a nap.

He seems to love this leather furniture.  Anytime he can he is on it.  He's never been one to scratch furniture.
He's a smart cat.  He knows he would loose another of those lives if he did!


Look who's is next to him in all these shots.

His other favorite thing is to sleep on quilts in progress.  I use my bed to lay out quilts that I am working on.
Around her a quilt isn't a quilt until the cat has napped on it.

Sometimes my work has to stop to allow for a cat nap.  Other times I have to do the unthinkable and wake him up.

And then he attacks the quilt.

And acts all innocent.

His favorite person is our grandson.  They love each other.

The one time he doesn't take a nap is when Zane is around and not napping.



Rascal and Daisy both love it when the Christmas lights come out.  They are usually in the way during the decorating.  We were trying string lights on the stairs and he was all up in the middle.

He likes to give his opinion on fabric choices for quilts.

Napping under the table
.
A sleeping cat is almost as sweet as a sleeping baby.



Everyone loves Rascal.

He loves to snuggle in a blanket for a nice nap.

He is  even so thoughtful he tells me there is no need to make the bed.  He'll sleep in all day.


Rascal is a sweet and special cat.  Come back to read about his other lives and how he came to live with us.
