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.
1st the small white clouds passing over the dark clouds
Then the dark clouds over the white clouds

64th Annual Dogie Days Parade, Dumas
Saturday, 12 June 2010
Good thing, it was sunny during the parade because the evening and night saw severe thunderstorms! It was the 64th Annual Dogie Days Parade, organised by the Dumas Noon Lions Club and and the Dumas/Moore County Chamber of Commerce.
Army
Navy
Roger marched with the American Legion Color Guard
A veteran of Former War
Dumas Fire Department
Sunray Fire Department
Stacey driving the A Plus Pest Control Truck
and Robin driving the Pigeons Van
Class of '65!
The Red Hats!
A mule among the horses. A mule is an offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. I read that mules are generally more intelligent than horses.
Masked Rider - mascot of Texas Technical University
An old Ford tractor
John Deere tractors
A Farmall tractor
Doritos - tortilla chips!
The children got to collect sweets and whatever is thrown to them!
One parade participant threw coins. One was meant for me because I found it after people have left and we were walking back to our car.
I missed this event last year. It was not 'dogs' event as I have thought. I thought it was 'doggie' day! I thought people would bring their dogs to the park for some event. And being a dog lover, I looked forward to this day. Anyway, I learnt today it was hot'dogs' day. You find/buy them at the fair, at the park.
Hot'dogs' stall was not opened when we went to the fair this afternoon. Instead we got hamburgers, corn on the cob and ice cone.

There is an interesting monument outside the courthouse and it has the ten commandments!
Thanks to Jaimye, whom I learnt from.

What I love about Spring is the Flowers
Monday, 7 June 2010
What I like about Spring time is the flowers. I love flowers. They are beautiful!
There was the trees of purple flowers, that I kept telling Mike that I wanted to take picture of but didn't. Hours passed, then days, weeks, months and they are gone! Thank goodness, Spring will come again! The temperature is now in the 90's F and the flowers are going!
These pictures were taken on the 3 May at a friend's place.
These were taken outside our home on the 31 May.
These pictures were taken on the 2 June at a neighbor's place.
And last, but not least, the flowers outside the post office on the 2 June. The flower petals were dropping.
