Jesus is the Reason for the Season

I just wanted to stop what I was doing and wish all my readers Greetings of the Season and Happy Holidays. I just realized we are ten days from Christmas! The year of 2007 is almost over. It is true what they say about the years speeding by as you get older. I just go used to writing 2007 on my checks! LOL

Whatever your faith, may the peace of the season be with you and your family. Happy Holidays!

Does anyone know about these birds? Last year, I took pictures of them in November and no one could identify them. Now, I go back, same time, next year, and here they are again.

They have pink feet and circles around their eyes. They do not hang out with the other ducks.

I have been through every bird book and can not find them. Any guess welcome.

We are planning to spend Friday this week to Friday next week at Medina Lake. The weather is so pretty down here in Texas and I can not think of where I would rather be for Christmas.

Medina Lake is full to the brim and incredibly clear. Below is a picture of the view from the campsite above. The river is glass and the reflection of the far shore is perfectly mirrored in the water.

Of course, my favorite pastime is feeding the deer. Look at the little fawn below. He looked just days old when we first saw him. By the end of our last trip, he was eating out of our hands.
