Mr. Mallard: "If you need me, I'll be over at Daffy's place watching the big game on TV."

Mrs. Mallard: "But you promised to patch the hole in the nest today!"

Mr. Mallard: "Now don't get your feathers ruffled!. I'll patch the nest tomorrow..."

Mrs. Mallard: "But that's what you said LAST weekend! Quack, quack, quack!!!"

"Well fine... I'll just waddle over and say hello to the funny lady with the camera!"

"Hello funny lady with the camera! Do you have any food for me?"

"Make sure you capture my good side!"

"I'm home honey! What's for supper? Cheese and Quackers?"

We went to Lake Arrowhead last weekend with Wilbur and Einstein's mom and dad. Lake Arrowhead is a fun place to spend the day. There's a nice variety of shops and restaurants and of course the beautiful lake to enjoy!


As we were walking around the lake front I noticed this cute dog walking towards me wearing sunglasses. You can't see it in this photo but he's also wearing a jacket that says SEARCH DOG. I took a picture of him and went on my way. (You can click on the photos to view a larger image.)


While we were browsing through some of the village shops I noticed the same dog sitting on a bench with his owner. You can see a portion of his orange and yellow jacket in this photo.

When I approached him he turned and looked at me over the top of his sunglasses. He also stuck his tongue out at me!

"Yeah, I'm cool!"

Change Has Come To America

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord...

I took this picture of a warthog while we were visiting the Living Desert in Palm Desert a few months ago. (You can click on the photo to view a larger image.)

Hmmm... Is this a face only a mother could love?

I took these photos of a Bald Eagle when we visited the Moonridge Zoo last month. There was a chain link fence around the eagle enclosure so I tried to shoot in-between the links to get these pictures. I have to admit, it was pretty amazing to be able to view these magnificent birds up close and personal. (You can click on the photos to view a larger image.)

According to baldeagleinfo.com... The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless. Bald eagles are found over most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead or dying fish are an important food source for all bald eagles.
Eagles are a member of the Accipitridae family, which also includes hawks, kites, and old-world vultures.

As we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to show you how much Trooper has grown over the past few months. I took this picture on the day we brought him home when he was only twelve weeks old.

Here's Trooper at ten months old.

It's hard to believe that he was ever this small!

Now he weighs 60 lbs. and he's still growing!

Trooper was four months old in this picture.

My big handsome boy...
