Hi you'll,

I normally hate cute pictures. Just don't like them but once a year I take a cute pic just to get it out of my system. I saw these two Sandhill Cranes walking by my pool enclosure and they had two chicks with them.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hi Angelo,

    When they originally asked me what type of lawn I wanted I said "astroturf". I figured it was green and wouldn't need any mowing. The community association was aghast and insisted on something living so I told them to put in something that was green and didn't expect alot of attention. I don't have the slightest idea what it is. i just pay someone to mow it once a week.

    Hey Ginger,

    I get a lot of traffic through there. We have a pair of Wood Storks, a Great Egret, and a Great Blue Heron who come by at least once a day now.

    Hey Trish,

    See I told you to stay and have some burgers. Now I know what you think about my cooking. You rather drive through a tornado than eat one of my burgers. :burger

    I was only joking about the lawn but as long as you've lobbed it back into my court let me tell you it's Bermuda grass and your gardener is robbing you. You'd do better to mow it only once or twice a month and only a high pass trimming. Your lawn will be much healthier. thumb.gif

    I knew I should have gone with the astroturf. Thanks for the info that will save some $ for the good old lens fund.
