Saturday’s Critters – Tortured Poets and Pomeranians Edition

I was on a hike here in Tulsa and scared up a group of about three deer. We had a little faceoff for a while. All I had was my phone camera so you have to really look hard to see the deer. I love seeing deer on a hike!!

I captured a squirrel and some birds on my backyard trailcam a few weeks ago.

My sister Ellen, her husband Irv, and my son Logan took a little trip to Woolaroc’s Museum and Wildlife Preserve about an hour or so from Tulsa. We saw lots of critters including some bison.

They had some juveniles, “red dogs” but they wouldn’t group up. Come on guys, how about some cooperation. Move together. Look at the camera.

I have no idea what they are looking at.

And a group of deer at a Preserve Lake.

They had an animal barn and with this sad little donkeys. All donkeys look a bit sad don’t they.

And a sad little pony.

And maybe the saddest story. This guy was a longhorn cow that lived at Woolaroc and got moved to southeast Oklahoma for a time. His proud horns drooped because the grass didn’t have the minerals needed to keep them up. He’s immortalized now.

Taylor Swift dropped her new double album “Tortured Poets Department” the other day. Kodi and I listened to most of it on the back patio. Kodi loves catching rays and grooving to new tunes. I think he may be a Swifty.

ABC Wednesday – Deer, Donkeys, and Doodlebuggers

I love hunting deer, with my camera. I surprised this beauty on a trip to Mt. Rainier National Park several years ago.

Donkeys and Drilling Rigs edit

Donkeys are cool as well. This trio is on a ranch in western Oklahoma. Cattlemen like donkeys because they protect cattle from coyotes. They hate coyotes. They like treats though. An extra “D” is the drilling rig in the background. Its drilling into the Colony Wash formation. Yep, they fracked the well. All the donkeys survived the fracking.

The last D is Doodlebugger. Doodlebuggers are earth physicists who do the geophysical measurements to find formations deep in the earth that might have oil and gas. I found this sculpture in the lobby of a building here in Tulsa that housed the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.

That’s it for D’s this week. I’m linking with ABC Wednesday.
