Piggies and More.

A funny thing happened this week. Frank was working in the yard and these little pigs came along! He called me to bring my camera.

Apparently the pigs did not want to hog the camera because they turned to leave. I went back in the house to try to find the farmer's phone number, but failed because we no longer receive phone books and I wasn't sure how to spell his name. Information was a waste of time, and did not even have the right number for animal control in my county. 

I wound up calling the sheriff's office and they sent out a young officer. By that time the pigs had disappeared. She said she would reach the farmer. This is not the first time his animals have escaped. 

A neighbor came over and said the pigs have been digging up her lawn! I later found holes in our side yard but at least it wasn't in the lawn. 

This summer pigs came through our yard  pursued by the farmer's son! I've seen sheep and chickens in our neighborhood, and even a cow! The farm is not far away, separated from our lake by a dam and fence. 

Weekend Reflections: Let's move on to Glen Burnie in Winchester. I think the reflection is an odd one, and even the sculpture that it captures is unusual. I'm including a view with Frank standing next to it so you can see how big it is.

The spider and web are part of a summer exhibit called Bugs.

Saturday Critters and The Bird Depot.

Today we were in Millwood and that's where I saw a dog  sitting on a wall. 

The rest of today's post is from my archives. The flying bird is a great blue heron. Then we have a blue jay and a friendly duck.
