Freshly Hatched

IMG_0927

This parent has just hatched two baby vultures.  If you look closely, you can see the remnants of egg shells.  As you may have read on my blog before, the Vulture family returns to this spot every year to increase their numbers. It is in a protected cove just outside a conference room with dusty windows.  If you are quiet, you can watch and study the vultures behavior without disturbing them.  Do you think the babies are cute?

Oh my!  This field was so beautiful!  I tiptoed around the edges, making sure not to squash any wildflowers.  When I found a plant that was photo worthy, I dropped to the ground and put my little camera to work, getting grass stains on my knees.  No flowers were harmed during the process.  Then the sun began to fall in behind everything as the breezes started to die down.  Bluebonnets are groovy, but the Indian Paintbrushes in this field were the best. Not to mention the friendly ladybug.  ðŸ™‚
