Autographed Pictures

I haven't had the good fortune of meeting Randolph Mantooth myself, but Nancy T. (The Nifty Lady)

was great and got my pictures signed when she met him quite a few years ago.

I wanted to share these. If you want to right click and copy/save them, feel free to.

Audrey and Jane L. June 23, 2002

Jane came down with her family and we all hit it off great! Felt like we'd known each other for years. Even our husbands got along! How nice that they both were willing to go along with us getting together. Hers even drove an extra 100 miles just so we could meet at my home! Then we took the kids to Peter Piper Pizza for the afternoon and it was a blast! My daughter was in tears when they left. Jane and I felt kind of sad, too. We wished we lived closer together.  But maybe there'll be another time. We're hoping! :o)

Caterpillars that morph into what we call 'humbugs'

(big moths - females have pink wings, males have blue)

Scorpion on the front porch

(note: he's not missing anything, but is partially under a couple of things)

Scorpion we found in the back yard.

(don't worry, we let him go and he went on his merry way)

We found a small scorpion in our yard using a black light.

A rooster that wandered into our yard 

A katydid in the desert

The rooster had one lone feather for a tail the

next day. The neighbor's dog chased after

him the next morning and this was the end result. . .

literally, I guess.

A baby toad that showed up when I got home from work

one morning

The baby toad up close. His shadow cracks me up! lol

Gecko - love these critters, so cute! :o)

This parakeet was hanging out with the sparrows.

He came every day for feeding twice a day,

then left when some of them did

Another rattlesnake in the yard

My husband snared the snake to move it, but it came

right back in the yard, so we left it alone after that

The 'dinosaur' lizard that lives in the yard. We call him that

because he's twice the size (about) of the other lizard Lizzy.

They're mates.

June 9th a.m. yard critters

The hawk that stops by, this

around Christmas time. I didn't know

they could turn their heads all the way

around backwards!  :o)

The hawk today, in February.

This was in December, the bunny eating with

a cactus wren and a chickadee. The chickadee still

 eats with the bunnies in the same spot. :o)

The rock squirrel is back after six months

of hibernating under our deck. :o)

Heard me taking pictures. :o)

Saw me in the window! :o)

A cute couple out eating.  :o)

Our newest yard critter.

We don't know where he came from,

 squirrels aren't around here at all. Not where WE live.

Poor squirrel has no playmates. I keep joking we'll end

up with squunnies! :o)

Lizzy, a female lizard we've been 

watching grow over the past four years.

She's used to us for the most part.

His cheeks are full of birdseed! :o)

Mother quail and her toddlers

More kids visible here, looks like she has 20.

The parents know exactly how many they have

 and they keep track of them all.

Another cute baby bunny

Might be the same baby bunny

An icky big spider that freaked me out.

The 6 foot long bullsnake that lives under our shed.

Remember the baby bunny with the white spot on its head?

The picture is down below and to the right.

Here is that little bunny as of the other day. :o)

This isn't real recent, but we had a small one on the window

the other day and so I decided to post this. A walking stick on our bedroom window. It was about 4 or 5 inches top to bottom.

Not our yard critters. This is at my

parents' home in Colorado.

Walking stick face up close.

A mother roadrunner and her babies

They were competing for her attention.

A baby prairie dog/ground squirrel without its momma- *sniff*

my husband is holding it

It's only about 3 inches from nose to tail tip.

We can only hope it does okay on its own.

The birds at feeding time

A baby bunny in our yard - it's doing great

after three weeks of watching it on its own.

A bull snake in the shed

He's about 6 feet long

Red Racer Snake

The Broken Legged Bunny

(She gets around good though!)

And mated, so we hope to see a baby from her.

Mad rattlesnake near our home -

He wasn't full of 'food', but puffed up to look bigger

Poised to strike

Baby horny toad - with a bottle cap

Cold lizard

Cold baby bullsnake
