4th of July

So i just thought i'd jump on and post a few pics of my 4th of July weekend, or in my case it was all week. We had family in from all over the place for our family reunion at my parents house and it was a blast.

My niece all decked out for a day on the lake

Put enough rednecks together and anything is possible. Yes that is a windshield wiper motor, rear axle off of an old 3-wheeler along with both sprockets, the chain, 12volt battery and battery chatger to keep it all turning. On top of the motor is a ziploc baggie full of ice to keep the motor from overheating. Gotta love it.

Took a ride up the mountain and saw this doe. At first I thought she had been eating and had some large leaves hanging out the side of her mouth , but as we got closer i could tell it was a growth of some kind. I've seen drop tines, but never a drop cheek.

Snapped a couple of cool pictures of this hawk. It must have not liked us being there because it kept screaming at us.
