He has those big ears for a reason - air-conditioning for those 100 degree plus days here in the desert.

Love all the photos here! It is great with NEW photos, noone that keep on reposting and reposting their vacation/cruise photos over and over again.

Kudos to each and every one of you!

 

Today we got a quite important visitor from a BIG foregin country: Hillary Rodham Clinton, United States Secretary of State, is in Riga today. For a city on the size of Riga this is quite noticeable.

 

Here she is with Edgars Rinkēvičs, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Latvia:

 

 

 

 

They placed flowers on this monument - The Freedom Monument (Brīvības piemineklis) (photo taken 1 hour before. If you look CLOSELY on the roofs of the two buildings, you can see snipers (a black dot on each roof) getting ready. Got a closer picture of them, but not sure if I should post it here)

I think that should read hare-conditioning :p

 

It wasn't the ears I was referring to though, rather the similarity in hind legs

 

 

But it clearly lacks the right tail to be able to do things like this ...

I had the same thought while I was taking the picture. The hares and cattle here are so scrawny, I always feel bad for them. Your roos look much better fed!

we have squackey baby birds learning to feed in our backyard too. They follow the mother around with their mouth open and making noise. Fun to watch!

Good place for a nest?

SUPER GUPPY!

 

I almost forgot that existed! Used to transport large airframe assemblies from manufacture to assembly.

 

Very cool!

The Super Guppy spends its off time here at Biggs Army Air Field in El Paso. So it's quite often here for our air show.

There is no more dramatic play in baseball than a play at the plate.

Fortunatly, this play had a good outcome as Alexi Casilla was safe.

I did not take this picture, but this is my picture of the week. Today is my birthday, I woke up knowing my son would not be able to text me Happy Birthday as he has done for the last several years. He is in Basic Training with the Army so there are no cell phones allowed. I really miss him and was out of sorts today. This evening, looking around Facebook, I found a picture of him, taken today at Ft. Benning. This is the first time I have seen him since he left almost a month ago. I could never have taken as beautiful a picture as this one to share. I know the rules for PAW, but this one just made my day!
