Jeremy Dieterich A Chronicle of My Life

I've been keeping an eye out for my "pets" that live in the back yard.  I was going through some older pictures and noticed a similarity:

This is the lizard that lives in our back yard.

This little fella was in Palo Duro Canyon.  If you look closely, you can notice that it has the same spiny texture on its back.  Yes, these lizards are native to Texas, so it makes sense; it's just neat that I would've gotten a picture of one both places.

Similarly, Mom noticed with my last rabbit picture that one of the poor bunny's ears was chewed up.

Well, looking back, I noticed that same ear in a lot of pictures:

Yep, that must be the same Mrs. Bunny who had her babies in our back yard.  Guess she likes it here.

As long as I'm showing animals, here's some more:

The lizard chills out on the deck most days, but is quick to scurry back under it if I come out.  Must be camera shy.

One afternoon, Marci and I heard every manner of bird noise outside, and when I went to look I noticed some Blue Jays, some Cardinals, and a few other species, all in the tree in our deck, all making a racket.  I'm not sure what they were going on about; maybe a meeting of some kind. Not exactly birds of a feather, but flocking together nonetheless.
