Foto Friday: Marley Elly Mae and Me

We live in the woods and in the woods, cute things happen...

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!
