Dog, Cat, Sheep, Deer

Charlie likes it when his friend Tripod shows up.



Tripod is a sweet cat with one front leg instead of two. He walks with a sort of limp and hop.

Caturday/ Saturday Critters


These sheep are on a small farm between Woodstock and Edinburg.


When I visited Shenandoah National Park on Monday, I saw deer at Big Meadows.  You can usually see some there, except when there are too many tourists for them to feel safe.



I stopped for some who looked like they were about to cross the road, but this happened just as I raised my camera. 

Then they did cross the road.

My final picture shows a statue in front of the visitors center. No doubt I’ve shown it before. This represents the CCC workers who did so much of the original work on the park in the 1930s. I am grateful for their fine work. They built a beautiful park.

  13. The history of the CCC is fascinating — at least two parks (Shenandoah and Palo Duro, TX) that I have visited display some very well-curated exhibits on the history and the lives of the involved young men (only men were hired). It was a brilliant choice for the terrible economy in the Depression. Much of their pay went to their families (i.e. parents), which contributed to the slow recovery.
