Saturday critters in the mountains

Thistles don't seem to be invasive in this part of the country; I need to Google and check up though. However, there is only one plant on our walk along the servitude. Yesterday I stopped to photograph the bloom again and was rewarded with a bee sitting on it. Perhaps it's a bee from John and Debbie's beehives; so the thistle can't be such a baddie!

A grass "flower" which fascinated the photographer in me! Note: black blob in background is Skabenga, the dog

Blogger friend, Sandra of Mad Snapper, and I were saying how we like to stop and check out the small stuff. And of course,  photograph it. Below is a dew-sprinkled spiderweb which I stopped to photograph on a walk [with dogs] to where the ladies had planted the latest pecan trees. 

Dew-sprinkled spiderweb spun across some grasses 

In the field where the newly planted pecan trees are, I spotted a mulberry tree. And a caterpillar feeding on it. I've been down every day to check on this... 

Back home in the evening Grant and I stable the horses. Here Skabenga greets them

Every morning Missy calls Grant come and let them out! Thunder, the Gentle Giant, snuffles in Grant's pockets as he's opening the stalls

The cats cuddle up on OUR bed every night

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!
