Best Date Ever
Tonight Alex was taking Elaine somewhere new for dinner. An out-of-the-way place, not yet overcrowded. It didn’t look like much, he admitted when they arrived, but it was too late to change plans.
They waited. For a long time, nothing happened. Just when he decided it might have been a mistake to come here, a human arrived, entering the campsite. Alex breathed a sigh of relief: Just as advertised.
The two pumas, Alex and Elaine, twitched their tails and tensed their muscles, preparing to pounce on the camper. Elaine crept forward, intent on her prey. Best date ever, Alex thought.

Bee in Grandmother’s Garden
On my quarterly visit to the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange, Texas, I always visit Grandmother’s Garden in the lot next door. We’re still having mild weather and a few flowers were blooming.
I love flowers with bees in them.
Queen Butterfly
Our Gregg’s mistflower plants are blooming, making the butterflies happy.

Eastern Phoebe
I heard a couple of birds calling out to each other. I finally got a photograph of this Eastern Phoebe.
I was using my big lens on a monopod and the wind was blowing me around a little bit, so the photograph isn’t as clear as I’d like it to be. Maybe the little birds will hang around for a few days and give me another chance.
It's a long story ...
