love the guinea pics. I've given up trying to figure out whether mine are boys or girls, all I can tell you is that they're guineas. those baby girls are growing aren't they. they look really good. deo and violet are beautiful, almost as pretty as Katie and marco :lol:

Well -- with those very cupped wattles I believe you have male guineas. And I HOPE that your Whitings lay the very blue eggs they show in the pics. Mine didn't come close. :(

BUT they are all lovely!! My guineas were mostly pied, had a nice white one :love Dang owl swooped in and snatched him off the roof of his coop. Can't fix stupid! Told him not to get up there. I miss mine and one day I'll get more.

@B&B Happy goats said,
"I don't know what you took your pictures with, but they are great....thanks for sharing them."

You’re welcome. :) Thanks. I take my pics with my LG G6 smart phone. I was thinking I wish they were clearer. But, I’m happy the shots came out.

We recently got my old camera (Nikon CoolPix 80) out, so I can use the tripod. Even with the shake minimizer function on, my hand tremors make the photos, on my phone somewhat blurry.

Here are a couple photos I took of our aloe vera plant. We bought it after we moved here, as a small plant. Last Spring, it got blown off the porch rail. It was a mess .. . It lost a few leaves, and was falling over in the pot. Rather than throw it away, we propped it up, and tied it to some stakes. When we brought it in the house for the Winter, I realized that there are quite a few baby plants. I decided to try taking the stakes and ties off, to see if it would stand up on it’s own. And it did. Here are a couple photos I took, with my phone.

and @Mini Horses that's why I try not to have white anything. predators can see them from 5 miles away and come to eat them. and you're so right, if you roost on the roof or in a tree of course something is gonna eat you but do they ever learn, nope. as a nurse we used to say that you can't fix stupid but you can sedate it. that's the only thing that works.

And most of us here don't have to really worry about I-10... that's way south of most of us. Not so for Greybeard and FEM though... They're down south in the Houston area.

@Rammy if we brought a load of contraband with us to Tennessee, it would never make it. We'd eat it loooooong before we got there...…. survival rations ya' know ;)
That is why she needs to bring Ringo to you, then get her goods from Devon. Maybe she can take back a nice spotted ram lamb.
