Fuzzy Cozy

This little baby bird looks so content and cozy.  He or she is listening intently to their mother who is in the tree four feet above the nest.  Mommy is loudly squawking  at the crazy *CSD picture lady to go and take her picture taking someplace else.  The picture lady finally did abide by her wishes...

How we act under pressure is a true test of character.

Highland Cattle

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7OU-OU-WOOT WOOT...a CSD moment for sure!  This just proves that a good hair do can make you look cute.  I've stumbled onto pictures of these types of cattle via the Internet and I have always admired them from a computer monitor.  However, being able to see them today in person from just a "drive by" was an extra treat.  Of course it is not a typical drive by, it was a CSD drive by where you notice your picture opportunity and don't have enough time to react so therefore you have to slam on the brakes, turn the car around and stop to get out of the vehicle with camera in hand.  My daughter always sighs "really Mom, do we have to?"  I say to her, "yes when you are a back seat rider, then yes you do... you are basically along for the luxury of reaping my CSD moments."  She sighs.... These creatures are so beautiful & cute!  Their hairy bangs over their eyes remind me of the Lhasa Apso dog breed.  I shared the pictures with a friend and her comment was that they remind her of Donald Trump,  LOL...too funny!    I was quite a distance from the road to the cattle but I was lucky as all I had to do was shuffle my feet on the gravel by the edge of the road and the cattle would look up at me with curiosity and stay still for a quick snap shot.The little purple flowers in the field make for a great summertime accent for the photo too!   Living in Wisconsin, you always see cows, but not typically anything like this.....yippee, I am so excited!  
HERE IS SOME INFO I FOUND ONLINE ABOUT THE CATTLE:Highland cattle or kyloe are an ancient Scottish breed of beef cattle with long horns and long wavy coats which are coloured black, brindled, red, yellow or dun. The breed developed in the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland. Breeding stock has been exported to the rest of the world, especially Australia and North America, since the early 20th Century. The breed was developed from two sets of stock, one originally black, and the other reddish.

Pool in 'da pond...

Here are a few snapshots from the backyard pond, here little fishy-poo!  I think he's a little sad that he is not like all the others...   

Happiness is when you think... what you say and what you do are the harmony.

Mason Lake, Wisconsin

I was driving down the road and BAM!  Around the bend in the road came a sight that I was awe struck by!  OOOOOHHHHHHHH, AHHHHHHHH, OOOOOHHHHHHHH, okay there, I have set the mood for you.  Truly, that is what I was saying when I took this lake-sunset picture!  I could not believe my eyes of how incredibly beautiful it was.  This was one of those moments where I just happened to be driving by this place at the right time and any sooner or later would not of been "the moment."  How do I get so damn lucky is what I want to know!?!  The pier setting was absolutely perfect.  I got down on my belly to take the shot.  If only I could be this lucky at love...

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

Greenville Sunset

I must say that I have seen more beautiful sunsets since I got my new camera than I have ever seen in my life!  What does the camera do, make you remember things like never before or rise to the occasion?  I am sure that sunsets like these are not rare... however I typically don't see actual rays coming off the clouds most of the time.

Someone needs anger management classes

Seriously, I've never seen a seagull get mad when someone is close by.  It seems typically they are the happy go lucky type personalities and just meander walking around on the pavement with a few squawks here and there.  Not for me today, as soon as I sat down on the picnic table they flew in and immediately started squawking at me.  They seemed angry and gave me an ear full as they carried on for quite some time.....I think I was sitting at their picnic table and they were not happy about that!  Perhaps they wanted food but I just sat there and listened to them and it seemed that they got even more mad.   I have that effect on people.  Who would of thought....


The only way to entertain some folks is to listen to them.

Three little baby birdies

I found these little fuzzy baby birdie balls... so sweet... so young... in a nest on a ledge in front of the house. It is amazing how big their toe nails are (see the last photo, looking to the left... with the big toe nail sticking out of the nest)!

Did you know that babies are nauseated by the smell of a clean shirt?

Sherbet... yummy

So vivid and oh so beautiful.  To think that I almost missed this awesome sunset if I had not poked my head out the front door to check on something.  So of course, I had to run back inside to get the camera for my CSD moment.  So sherbert like and oh so yummy!

Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon.

Seagull Toed...

You have heard of Pigeon toed, right?  Well, this little blog CSD moment is about the Seagull toed...

The last day of my vacation I took a stroll down the beach and ran into a group of seagulls hanging out enjoying the morning sunrise.  I though it would be a good photo opportunity.

It seems like my picture adventures always seem to turn into something else. I seem to stumble on things beyond my first attempts.  After I took my first snap shot, I ventured closer taking my chances that they would not fly away.  I was pleasantly surprised as I got closer, I started to see huge amounts of seagull foot prints in the sand.  It was like 3D-art style to me!  It looked like a cool print almost leaf like in shape.  It was new to me as I've never really seen anything quite like it.  The morning dew must of made the sand moist enough to hold the cool foot print shape and the human traffic had not been around to ruin it.   I was so excited to discover something new but had no one to share it with.  So now, I am sharing it with you!
