Sunday was a nice day, so I thought I’d do some yard work clearing some brush. I brought my DFLE & Game Warden. I bought my camera so I could take some pics to share with you guys. Since it’s the beginning of spring, I thought I might find some interesting things to take pics of. I hope you guys like the pics. :D

I found a lot of pics blooming in my Mom’s flower bed.

I found this turtle dove nest in a tree near the flower bed.

This ladybug landed on my hand while I was taking pics.

This is a dead branch on one of our apple trees. I gave it a couple whacks and used it to prop up the DFLE.

I found quite a few bird nests around the yard. These two are close neighbors.

Some pics of the GW on a shelf mushroom. I found the little snail shell on the ground near it.

If you wondered what was in the MaxPed, here’s what I carried. The green foam mat was for when I was taking pics. It made kneeling easier. I just put the strap through the handle so I could carry it on the MaxPed. Also shown is my Colt Mustang Pocketlite, Monocular, Spyderco Waved Delica, Goatskin Gloves, DFLE with Buy Brown kydex sheath, and Game Warden with LV sheath I made.

A Louis Vuitton sheath for a GW? Talk about a coddled GW!

Beautiful nature shots, how do you like that DF? Every time I look at one of those I like it more and more! Thanks for sharing your day out, I did some yardwork with my ASH-1 today, but mainly used for clearing roots on some nasty weeds that have popped up (tumbleweeds and thistle roots are surprisingly stout).
 
Beautiful pics but try not to touch the nest with eggs in them cause the momma wont come back to it.

Actually, that's an old wives tale. :D See here: http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/babybird.asp

I've picked up & held lots of baby birds over the years and the parents took care of them just fine. When I was younger, I read that this urban legend was probably started by parents to keep kids from touching and possibly injuring the fragile baby birds.

Here's some pics of some past baby birds I handled with no ill effects:

This is an older pic taken before the baby sparrows hatched.

Aren’t they tiny! That’s my left index finger for scale.

Great pics....


Dont worry Lee......I use to believe it too.


Til, a nest full of babies jumped out of a tree in my front yard. Well, maybe I knocked em out by accident...


either way, I had to catch em and put em back before my labs could get em:eek:

Well, I saved most of em.:thumbup: THe parents came back and took care of em too.:)

but they raised cane everytime we used the front door for like a week:D
 
Nice pictures bro. Looks like that tan handled Battle Rat has seen some use, take a close up shot of the blade if you get a chance. What are your thoughts of all your large choppers, what are your top choices and why?
