"Don't flatter yourself Cowboy... I was staring
at your truck!" and that one line just captures the character of
so many Texas gals. This would definitely be me if I had been born in Texas. I was a real tomboy as a child. That first picture, actually all of them could be me! Now I understand why I love country music, the old Western tales.
And that road runner! I've never seen one before. Are they very wild? Endangered or do you see them quite often?
we love our Road Runners, I know they are a gitt from God just for us. They are mostly found in the desert areas in Mexico, Southwest Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California. So they aren't rare but for our area they are because we're farther North than where they are normally found. They are super cool, super fast, hard to get photos of, they mate for life and we have a pair of them, they eat all kinds of critters like scorpions, small snakes and especially small lizards which are their favorite. these guys are constantly patrolling all around our house.
here's the best photo I've gotten of one of them, they are extremely wild as far as if we're outside they disappear but come right up to the house and inside the fence if we are inside so they're very shy and quick.
Thanks for the Road Runner 101! That is fascinating @janton. I've got to say they don't look anything like the cartoon I watched as a kid. Although with that punk hairdo he does look cheeky. With critters like that on a Road Runners menu no wonder he is so fast
lol! yes Ma'am they may not look like the cartoon but they really are that fast!
