Tuesday, when I arrived home from work, I let Elly out as I always do. Mr. R was headed to the barn to feed the animals, and as is her tradition, she bolted like lightening to follow him.
Not paying attention, I kept hearing this squawking bird and then realized Elly was pouncing back and forth like a boxer around something... Unbeknown to me, she was interrogating this baby bird!
I believe it's a Green Herion b/c we have a lot of these around... poor thing must have fallen out of its nest!!
Seems Elly was moving too fast for me to catch a good shot, but she was being nice to the baby -- I think it was more freaked out by my shoving a large, black, loud, clicking thing in her face, but it was important that I documented the whole cute scene! Aren't you glad I did?? :)
Sweet baby... I hope she's OK!
On another note... last weekend I went over to Raleigh to see my Sister, Brother and SIL and my 7 nieces and nephews --
I heart them.
The Adults.
Kids.
Praying to the god of swimming.
What nice ears you have.
Auntie, Anne... STOP TAKING PICTURES!
What would swimming be if I didn't bite my tube?
Come on! JUMP!
Mama... I'll rub your head and make you feel better.
Can't you see I'm having a private moment!?
One. more. piece.
What?
I'm gettin' outta here.
Auntie Anne with all the kiddos.
I ALSO heart FRIDAYS!!!
Have a fabulous weekend!

I've never seen a baby herion before -- too cute! But you're lucky, my dogs would have ripped it to shreds. Guess your dog has better manners :)
Aww, the baby heron is so sweet! I bet Elly was really intrigued!
Have a lovely weekend xxx
Elly Mae is such a cutie! Love her little dozie tummy. Hope the baby is okay.
You are a fabulous photographer. Such a great and natural shot.
P.S. I bet you are one of the best aunts ever Anna considering what a warm and compassionate person you are.
Wow...those are all great pictures!
Love the pictures today. Have a blast over your weekend!

I hope the birdie is doing ok! Poor little thing. It sure is adorable though!
Happy Friday!
Great photos! Those shots you captured of elly with the baby bird are awesome. Have a great weekend. xoxo, Lucy
Great pictures of Elly and the heron! Beckett would have been behaved too (I think!), but the doxie hunting instinct with Meadow is strong; the poor birdy would have been toast.
Have a great day!
That little Elly Mae...she is so cute!
Looks like a good time with family...Nothing better! Have a good weekend!
Great pictures...the pup looks scared! :)
OMG. Elly Mae is a little peanut!
That bird is such an interesting creature! The green legs are fascinating! :)
