The Herd

Yesterday just before sunset, our friend Robert bicycled over to join us for a movie night -- "Chinatown". Not ten minutes into the movie, about 20 Javelinas come prancing up to the office. They weren't interested in the movie, but in the water bowls outside (that are there primarily for the birds). Trying to photograph 20 Javelinas milling around, some behind cactus, some with their backs to you is a challenge, much like trying to get a photo of a four year old grandson who is busy playing. But, here are a few photos I got:

Here are 7 of the Javelina Herd
This guy seemed interested in me .... for a moment.


Here is a mother protecting her youngster.

This one should be enlarged to appreciate.

Sometimes they seem so sweet to each other.

Two little guys -- maybe brothers -- maybe best friends -- maybe both.
