Some Trophy Pics

Social Distancing.

The line of trees caught my eye

Black-bellied Whistling duck. I thought they had moved on but Butch spotted this one for me.

Lark Sparrow- taken from my window. The birds are far more visibly abundant here in Trophy now that there are fewer people.

What kind of tree is that?

APP OF THE DAY

Seek by iNaturalist
This app is so cool! Next time you’re outside, simply open the app on your phone, point the camera at a plant, animal, bug, etc., and the app will identify and teach you things about that living object.

I took the advice of the above blurb I found in the RV newsletter, April 30th edition. I have been having a good time with it. Not only will it identify while you are looking at the plant, but I also pointed it at old pictures I had taken that were on my computer and it identified them as well.

Perfect Day for a Walk

This morning I decided to get out and walk before the heat set in. I took my camera with me as I usually do. I discovered that this time of year is great for taking photos without interruption. Here are my miscellaneous meandering photos.

Golf Course

Giant Texas Cactus

We are missing the pool hall. We both spent a fair amount of time there before the "Great Fall" and Covid-19.

Just about anything you might like to do, you can do at Trophy Gardens


This arrangement of foliage looked particularly nice this morning.


 
Mourning Dove





A place to sit and reflect...


Golden Rain Tree

Texas Wild Olive.

Happy May Day from the office

Happy Friday: It's a beautiful day in the valley.

April Volunteer: I forgot to post our April Volunteer, it is a couple and they are here all year. Lynn and Glyn Massingill, Lynn is always willing to help out when we need her and then she gets Glyn involved too. They do everything from decorating to working the dances to pitching in with a smile. Thanks Lynn and Glyn for all you do to help make TG a great place.

For all those who left this week or this weekend - safe travels and we will see you in the fall.

No packages today.

Have a great weekend!
