Most prickly pear has yellow flowers however this 'bush' is full of pinkish blossoms! The bees love the pollen and nectar. Known as nopal in the Spanish prickly pear can be torched to burn off the spines... cattle or goats will feast on the cactus. The next year the cactus has regrown but now is twice as thorny.

Blue snake 'bout 5 feet long headed into the flower bed! Hope it catches some mice! Not our toads...sadly if they jump they're dinner.

Saw this while checking salt in the cow pens. Thirteen Striped ground squirrel. South Texas!

Thankful for this. I need Jesus.

Irrigation motor alternator is toast.

No seed eating birds on my bird feeder today! This guy hunts my feeder I am guessing as I occasionally find feathers by the feeder. Love south Texas!

Folks south Texas is having a major rain event! 10 to 15 inches in two weeks! Amazing!

Its so HOT in South Texas even a shepherd will get in the water!

Beautiful! By the pivot center.
