Quails in Trinity County on a snowy morning.

Quail in Trinity County, I am pretty sure they live in the blackberry bushes.

There are always lots of quail around.  I am not sure if there is one group, or many groups of them.

Sometimes I will see ten or more at a time.  They are very quick, and will run as soon as I open the door to take photos.

For once I managed to sneak up on these quails and get a few pictures.  

Another very interesting fact about the quails, that I found out a few days ago.  

My dad informed me that the quail are actually not very fat.  They have an air sac between their feathers and their bodies, which puffs out to keep them insulated.  And I thought they were well fed. :-)  I do see though, now a few weeks later, that they are in fact, not that fat, in the yard yesterday, of course, the weather is warmer.

These are some very beautiful quail, they look pretty well fed to me.


Quail running away, they are very sensitive to noise.

Candies, chocolates, cupcakes, and giraffes.

Sounds silly doesn't it?  Well I went to a baby shower the other day and there were many treats to choose from.  There was much homemade food, and a wide array of sweet treats to choose from.  I am sure the children that were there had a spectacular time! :-) 

Assortment of gummi bears, candied hearts, lemon drops and red hots.


Great giraffe cupcake, cake! ;-)

And yes there was more candy Dove chocolate, gummi worms, and sour gummi worms.


Chocolate fondue for all, with strawberries, banana's, pound cake, and candies.

My favorite are the strawberries and gummi bears. :-)

Yes, there was some actual food there, from guacamole, to spinach dip, and deviled eggs.

There was also Tofu Sushi, which was delicious!

Handmade Chocolate, Barry Pistoles and Callebaut Milk Chocolate

I really like chocolate.  Recently I decided that dark chocolate was indeed "healthy chocolate".  :-)  Ok, maybe that was just an excuse for me to eat chocolate.  


Rocky Road, marshmallows, chocolate, and walnuts.
