Chippy the Chipmunk is Back With the Pretty Flowers

If you have visited this blog for a year you may have remembered Chippy. He was the friendly chipmunk always ready for a photograph. If he is the same chipmunk this year he is a little shyer. He hid a few times before I got this shot of him. Chipmunks can live for 2-3 years and do not store fat when they hibernate.

The white flowers grow wild all over the yard near picky bushes. Can anyone tell me their name?

The peony, my old time favorite for it's color, short life and beautiful smell, has come out again for a few short days.

What are you favorite flowers this time of the year?

Cows With Personality Posing For Pictures

This cow posed for me

As I got closer he moved away.

And he seemed to get timid.

2 very large cows

Cows on a farm on a beautiful late spring day

The other week I took a different way home and found these cows on a farm. I love taking different ways home now. These cows were very interesting. This top image is when the cow was like posing for me! He seemed to like the attention but when I got closer he started to run away. 

According to research on cows they are very intelligent animals and can remember things for a long time. They can form friendships with other cows and even hold grudges against those that treat them badly. Imagine? 

Have you come across cows in your area? If so, how did they react to you? 

Rhododendrons and Peonies All In Pretty Pink

It's about that time of year again when the rhododendrons bloom beautiful bright pink colors and the peonies starts to bloom. The peonies really started to bloom with the temperatures reaching the low 90's the past few days. 

I had to look back at last year and see when they started to sprout blossoms and it was early May.

Do you have lots of flowers that are now in bloom? 

And are your allergies acting up? According to an allergy doctor the ugly plants are the cause of it.

It's been a bad year for allergies here! 

A Beautiful Horse and An Old Cemetery

Taking the long way home sometimes can bring about the beauty of nature. This horse was just beautiful among the lush green grass. I just had to stop and take a few photographs. 

The historical cemetery was across the street.  It is still well maintained. I always wonder about the stories that these cemeteries may have buried.

Do you ever visit any historical cemeteries in your area?
