this far.  and enough.  Can finish the flag tomorrow.  

This morning when i was turning on the water,  there was a large Whiptail.   and as they are beginning to do,  this time of year,  as we move into the patterns of the summer,  they no longer Run.   But simply move away some,  then stop.  Stop to turn and consider.  Eye to Eye.   This one.  and  i saw that she was not stripped as they are.   This one had DOTS.  many.   I was so startled,  i don't remember exactly,  but tomorrow i will be up and totally READY,  take the camera in my pocket,  see if i can record this as Witness.    She was extremely

Beauty Full.
