Tonight was Ysa’s portrait night. I asked for a soccer theme… I was hoping for a beautiful sunset but I was robbed. Ysa did a great job considering it was freezing. Maxie assisted in the ball placements for the last shot, thanks Maxie.

Circle of Life
One day you’re eating dinner with Mama, next morning you’re breakfast. Sad to watch as most of the ducklings end up this way.

Luz
Luz had 8 ducklings this morning. We’ll hope for the best.

That baby hummingbird just disappeared one day. I did hear a crow right outside the window so we feared the worst. The other day I saw him in our backyard alive & well.
