Texas Walkies on FFF/Nature Friday (with Feline Friday guest stars)

 

Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!

 

There is something special about early morning walkies, and something extra special about early morning walkies in Texas!! 

The big skies show off the morning sunrise. Everything really is bigger in Texas, including the colors as we headed out on our walk.

We passed a few ranch entrances like this one.

Yellow flowers glowed in the morning sun...

...but then the serenenity was interrupted

OMD...DADDY.....

KITTY!!!!!!

...and this is just the only kitty that sat still and let Mama take her picture....

I did let Mama take a picture of this pretty flower before Sunny called me over....

 

Oh Rosy.......there is another one

This beautiful sleek yard panther is the barn kitty who lived next door to our Air BnB. He ran away just as I was saying hello (in the form of a very loud bark)!

Thank you for joining us on our early morning Texas Kitty walkie. I can't wait to see what kind of kitties nature we see in Texas when we go back in November!

We hope all our friends get out to see some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Air BnB Comfort Thankfuls

When we were in Texas, we stayed at this pawesome Air BnB that had the comfiest couch! It was perfect for both roaching around on my back and being silly.....

....taking long naps!

We are so thankful we had such a nice place to rest our paws while we were in Texas!

Towhee Fountain Fun

 

We always love seeing Mr. Spotted Towhee show up at our fountain. He is one of our yearroud residents and likes to nibble on the birdy food that falls out of the feeder, along with the occasional bug or two.  He's a friendly kinda guy, but a little skittish. TC caught this short video of him flitting around the fountain:

See you soon Mr. Towhee!

Texas Travel Tuesday

 

A couple of weeks ago, we made our first LONG trip to Texas to keep the pawrents company while they did some things for Grandaddy. Today, we have a few peeks at our 87 million hour (or maybe 10 ) car ride. 

When they say "big open road" in Texas, they aren't kidding! It seemed like we drove 87 hours with only cotton and oil derricks to see.....

Every now and then there was a wind mill farm though!

We stopped in Sudan, Texas for lunch and a nice walk. Mama tried to get us to sit still for a picture but, sheesh Mama, we were in that car for a long time! All we wanted to do was sniff some sniffs and stretch our pawsies!

West Texas small towns, like the one where we stopped for lunch, are  pretty quiet and we had a nice time in Sudan, Texas. 

BUT

We were very happy to finally get to the small town of Kingsland and our little Air BnB house.

We will fill you in on the rest of our stay later this week.

Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

Mountain Cruising on Nature Friday

 Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, we are going to take a little drive through the Spanish Peaks area of Colorado (near where we stayed in LaVeta last month).

 

It was an overcast day and everything look so beautiful and green.

 Views unfolded over every mountain

It seemed as if we had the roads all to ourselves...

...and we took our time to savor every mountain we saw.

You may be wondering why I am wearing all my Texas Longhorn stuff....Well our team played a nail biting game last week and WON! Mama has been celebrating all week (which includes dressing Sunny and I in a lot of burnt orange).

Anyway...let's get back to our Colorado ride

This barn mural was very cool, and made us feel like we had traveled back in time!

The Spanish Peaks have these cool wall like formations called "dikes" that run through the area.

All and all it was a beautiful drive, full of pretty scenery!

Thanks for joining us today for our little drive through the Spanish Peaks area of Southern Colorado. 

We hope all our friends get to experience some nature this weekend and...

Hook Em Horns!!

Mama's Thankful Thursday

 

Thankful for smooshy faced lover bugs!

Today I, Mama Beth, am thankful that Sunny's thyroid meds seemed to have evened out her moods and she is back to enjoying her evening snuggle sessions!
