Introducing "Bozo"

 I have posted here before that my favorite mammal is a woodchuck (groundhog).  This stems from my childhood and part of my childhood was spent checking out book called "Bozo The Woodchuck".

My grandson Jacob is quite the artist.  He likes Pokemon and some fans of Pokemon like to create their own characters inspired by that style of drawing.  So I asked him if he would draw a groundhog for me and explained the significance.  Here is what he created and I love it!

Happy 10th Birthday Russell!

We haven't had him 10 years (8+) but we know that Rusty turned 10 today.  We helped him celebrate with our traditional Spring Break game day.

Letting the neighbor dogs hear it...

 

Our handsome boy...

 

 

 

Jake brought over his new camera and I showed him where I get my pictures on the feeder.  Here are a few nice pics of a Black-capped Chickadee he got...

 

Happy 16th Birthday Jake!

To honor Jake on his birthday, I thought I would share a few pictures he has taken with the camera he got for Christmas.  For his birthday, he got a new laptop so now we can finally see some of his work. 
Russ is expected to make the blog but look at this beautiful picture of Sooner!

Happy Birthday buddy!

 

A blast from the past...

 

Out with Jake and his new camera

Jake got a really nice camera for Christmas.  We were out yesterday looking for subjects to practice on.  We struck out on Bald Eagles on the river so settled for our beautiful capitol and a setting sun(these are my pix)...

 

Jake and Russ

Jake has been our dog sitter when we've gone out of town.  It's Russ...what can we say.

Here is the bond they share...



And here is a picture Jake took of Russ over the weekend.  I love to see how Jake "sees" Russ...

Photos from Jake

Here are two pictures Jake shared with me on Instagram.  You can see Maddy's car in the background.  You can see his Instagram "handle"...

Spotlight on Jake today

This blog is about things I see outside in our neighborhood.  But I wanted to post two pictures that Jake took recently to showcase his creativity...because I can!

This was taken at the family gathering we had when the Salina crew was in town.

 

And here is an artistic shot...

 

 

I would say he has a good eye!
