Birds: Cliff Swallows

Sunday, 25 July 2010

Mike spotted these cliff swallows on the walls of a neighbor's front porch.

He shot this picture with one head showing.


Later I took this picture of two heads. I wonder how many are there in the nest.


There was another nest.

Fruits: Peaches

Sunday, 25 July 2010

Don't you like fruit trees? Let me think. I don't think I have come across any fruit (for human consumption) trees that I don't like yet.

This is the 1st time I have seen a peach tree.


I thought they have to be eaten ripe until I saw someone cutting the unripe ones and eating them with salt. Reminded me of buah kedondong (great hog plum). I tried without salt. It is nice and crunchy. I like it. These peaches are from the tree above. They are not as big as the ones sold in the supermarket but that is okay.

Clouds

During the ride from Amarillo to Dumas, I thought the clouds were interesting.
