Sunday Stills 2026 August 23 — Wallowing Pig

Animal of the Month

Terri has recently started a new theme for the Sunday Stills challenge called Animal of the Month. I’m not sure if my animal fits this week’s animal of the month theme or not since I write mine in advance, but hopefully it’ll be alright.

See the Pig
Eyeing the Pool

With our extreme heat wave we’ve been experiencing, I found it fascinating that even the Pigs in The Farm area at The Schiele Museum of Natural History thought it was too hot.

approaching pool

Coleman and I stood watching this Pig for a while enjoying its antics and Wallowing.

Pig’s by the pool.
What’s he gonna do?

With it being so hot and humid what else should the Pig do but get in the pool and cool off.

Pig is in the pool.

Turn, turn, turn …

Round and round goes the Pig …

Pig says it’s
time to wallow.

And keep wallowing till it’s completely cooled down …

Turn, turn, turn

Maybe I’ll just take one more spin wallowing in the pool before I get out and mingle.

Almost done Wallowing for now.

Sunday Stills
#Animal of the Month
#Reflections
Water Reflections of a Fallow Deer

For this Sunday I am combining Debbie’s One Word Sunday-Water with Terri’s Sunday Stills-#Animal of the Month and her Sunday Stills-Reflections. The #Animal of the Month for me is the Fallow Deer.

Coleman and I were able to observe Fallow Deer at the Lazy 5 Ranch home to over 600 Exotic Animals from more than 6 continents. The Lazy 5 Ranch could be compared to a small Safari Zoological Park. At the Lazy 5 Ranch you can either drive your own vehicle through on a Safari tour of the Ranch or opt to take a Wagon Ride (which we did). With the Wagon Ride, there is a driver guiding the horses pulling the Wagon giving al overall commentary of the Ranch, informing us about the various animals we were seeing, and as well as giving a bit of history on how the Ranch came to be in existence.

Here we spot a Fallow Deer in a pond of #Water where looking closely you can see the deer’s Reflections in the #Water.
