Inquisitive young emus at a zoo
These zoo born juvenile Emus are very inquisitive about people visiting them. DeYoung zoo in Wallace, Mi is home and rescue to many animals. The Emu is Australia's tallest native bird, reaching between 1.6 m and 1.9 m when standing erect. Adult Emus are covered with shaggy grey-brown feathers except for the neck and head, which are largely naked and bluish-black. The wings are greatly reduced, but the legs are long and powerful. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and no hind toe. Most people see Emus along roadsides, near fences or other barriers, giving the impression of close association. However, Emus are not really social, except for young birds, which stay with their father. They are so curious and funny!

Cool slow mo girl on a swing

Zoo visitors bottle-feed adorable albino fawns
Albino whitetail fawns were born at the DeYoung Zoo in Wallace, MI. The owners saved them from predators and hand feed them. They are friendly and love to be around people. It is also a great teaching opportunity for children (and adults) who never get to see these majestic animals. They are so sweet!

Cattle dog keeping an eye on his wild deer friend
Adventures of Cooper the Australian cattle dog. Cooper has a long history with these wild deer that come right in our yard. He has known them since he was little (there are viral videos of it). Every night the deer come in, no matter what we are doing. Here, we are in the pool, splashing and talking and the deer do not care. Cooper just sits and watches them. Very intently! He doesn't even turn his head when I call him. We are so lucky to live in this beautiful area. So peaceful!

Swimming with friendly "baby sharks"
These fish are not actually baby sharks, but they sure look like it. They are called bullheads and are so cute. They usually are pretty skidish and swim away from people but we spend a lot of time in this pond and they have gotten used to us. This is the first time they've gotten this close and nibbled on my daughter's skin. Bullheads have very sharp pointed side fins, so we have to be careful around them. But their skin is very soft and smooth.

Bullied chicken loves to be held
This cutie little chicken lives at a hobby farm. Sometimes other chickens bully and pick on him. Then the owner babies him and holds him in her arms. He will actually fall asleep sometimes. He will then be separated from them and given a chance to heal. But he gets lonely and gets put back with them until it happens again. He's pretty cute and slightly spoiled!!

Wild toad clearly loves being petted
These people have an over abundance of frogs and toads living in the country and the same ones live around their house every year. They all come out at night to eat, so these people like to interact with them. When you pick them up they make the cutest chirping sound and when you pet them, they seem to enjoy it. So cute!

Cattle dog totally freaks out over rock thrown into the water
Cooper has a toy called a herding ball. He freaks out and chases it all around. When his owners put a large rock in the water, he thinks it's a herding ball and tries to get it out. He cries and scratches at it then it rolls in deeper and he can't reach it. Also, if you look close, there are hundreds of minnows gathered around him because of the water being stirred up!

Turn up volume. Frogs in a pond at night
Bull frogs live in the ponds all around our house. In the spring, when they are mating, the sound of them chirping is heard for miles. This pond is right in our yard and you cannot even hear the person talk standing right next to you. It is so loud. And so peaceful. It is the sound of summer!

Crazy summer lightning storm is a wonder to behold
Summer brings thunderstorms and tornadoes. This storm ended up being both! We were sitting at the local bar when this one rolled in. It was very hot and humid out, perfect weather for storms. It was amazing and beautiful. The tornado missed the bar and our house. But hit big just 2 miles from here, you can see the shelf of it, turning....mother nature is a wonderful creature!

Amazing natural crystal clear spring
Kitch-iti-kipi or "The Big Spring" is two hundred feet across and forty feet deep. Over 10,000 gallons a minute gush from many fissures in underlying limestone, the flow continuing throughout the year at a constant 45 degree temperature so the spring never freezes. Located in Upper Michigan. This beautiful quiet spring was discovered deep in the lush wilderness by John I. Bellaire, a Manistique businessman. He enjoyed looking down into the deep crystal clear pool and watching as the big spring presented untold wonders and fish swam deep in the water.
