Just Munching on Dandelions

We were driving along the TransCanada Highway and we spotted this little critter just munching away on dandelions at the side of the road.  He was about 15 feet away from us down a hill so it was somewhat safe to snap a few picks.

He really is a big guy and I am glad he was not up close and personal!!!

We are on a road trip just wandering around British Columbia, Southern Alberta, Montana, Idaho and Washington..  It has been a spectacular trip so far.  Only one day left to dawdle along before heading north to home.

Serenity



Cruising through my son-in-law's garden the other day, I snapped this picture of serenity.  One of my favourite places to just sit and meditate.

Pot-filler spiggit

We toured some very large homes in Punta Mita while in Bucerias and in one of the kitchens, I noticed this funny tap. It is a pot filler. You put your pot on the stove and then just fill from this faucet rather than lugging your full pot across the kitchen. My question: How does one empty the pot after use????????????? You would still have to cart a large pot across the floor to the sink to empty it! Unless of course, you have staff!

It is sort of in the middle of the photo.
