It's funny how things change in a year. Last year we could rarely keep Avery happy long enough to get a good photo and Mason was absolutely ready to pose for the camera at any time. This year, Avery will do anything you ask him to, with a genuine smile on his face while Mason won't sit still nor look at you while the camera is out.

I remember my mom calling last year with the concern that Mason was my "favorite" due to the fact I had more photos of him. I guess that means this year Avery is my "favorite". I'm sure by next year, neither of them will cooperate for photos!!

Mason loved the bubble shooter.

This is the Mason County Parade that was held on July 11, 2009. This is an annual event at Mason, Texas and is held in conjunction with the Rodeo Weekend. The parade starts near the courthouse and circles the courthouse and then continues on through the town. This is the prelude to the Great American Jackass Race. Lots of floats and spectators.

Jim would be happy to see this.

I became interested in putting up a mason bee house after I saw Jim's photos of them and read what he wrote about the bees.

This is the first year I've put the house up, and two of the holes have been nested in - very exciting.

Mason bees emerge from their nests in the spring. These solitary bees lay an egg in the whole and then block it up with clay where it grows until the following spring. Excellent native pollinators! This is the first time I've been able to get pictures of them emerging.
