These pictures were taken a month or so ago but I just haven't post them until now. I had just downloaded a 30-day free trial of photoshop lightroom... ;)

Ben and I were rock-picking in one of the bean fields one afternoon and as we made a turn with the tractor at the end of the field Ben thought he saw a Killdeer nest. We went back later to see if we could find it and I took a few pictures...

Silas came along...
.

.I don't really know why I took this picture...it took a long time to find the nest.

But we did finally find it :)

yeah, I don't know why I took this one either... :P

We've had a lot of rain lately.

Our nearest lake is usually about eight miles away. This week, we don't have to go that far to find one.

This is our neighbor's pasture. Needless to say, it's not usually this wet. :)

.
...and this is another neighbor across the field. Nope that's not usually a lake...it's supposed to be a bean field. Too bad it isn't duck hunting season.

Then there were three...

2010-06-22T21:56:00.007-05:00

Our three black kittens decided the deck was the best place to spend a hot afternoon.

~Whenever I pointed the camera at him, he'd wake up from his nap and strike a pose~

~I don't know where the third one came from. He showed up in the barn yesterday and has been hanging out with Karl and Larry ever since... :) As of right now, he doesn't have a name but he is affectionately known as "The Boogie Monster."~
