Apr. 24 Weekend Photos: Zoo!

Last Friday Liz, Wes, and I went to the small zoo around the corner. This eagle kept his eye on us from the second we walked through the front gate. It was pretty creepy, really.

Jaguar.


Another jaguar. Apparently if the sun hits a black jaguar just right, you will be able to see the same type of spots this one has.


Forget the animals! Wes was more interested in the fallen tree blossoms. No, seriously.



Some people will have no interest in this next photo, I'm sure. For the rest of you, these are sliders -- the same type of turtles that I once owned. The smaller one was bigger than my hand.

Apr. 17 Weekend Photos: Yard (again)

The other photos are pretty self-explanatory, but this first one is bits of a wiry twig-like plant coiling around the fence. I enjoy the bokeh in this one.

Apr. 10 Weekend Photos: Sun-soaked trees

The sun was hitting the flowered trees beautifully the other day. These trees always look great in the spring.

Weeping cherry:


Ornamental pear:

Backyard playground

Uncle Denny got a new playset for the boys' birthdays this past week. It's pretty awesome -- I can just imagine how much fun we would have had on this as kids.
