Oklahoma University can boast about one of the greatest art museums in the world. The Fred Jones, Jr. museum exhibited works of art collected by Renard Strickland.
Strickland stated the Native Americans survived the European invasion by assimilating, appropriating, and accommodating. Below we see bowl showing the image of a Native American adept at multi-tasking with a cellphone, and iPod, and a laptop.
The Fred Jones, Jr. exhibit includes a collection of southwestern art.
The Weitzenheimer Collection includes paintingsby Toulouse Lautrec (below), Pisarro, Monet, Cezanne, and many more.

Outside the Fred Jones, Jr. museum stands John Massee's "Huguenots," or a place to tie one's horses, My Mr. Mallory said in jest.

On our way home, glimpses of rolled hay and oil batteries along the way marked the countryside. The recent increase in rainfall has made the countryside look green.
I felt fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph these two nightjars, for BirdManBob would release them the same evening.
A baby Cattle Egret fallen from its nest onto the concrete parking area of the Harrison Apartments. Wildlife lovers say that Fire ants invaded Bird Island on Lake Arrowhead, which forced the birds to nest elsewhere, unfortunately within human domain. Since they are a federally protected species, they may remain in the trees at the Harrison apartments. Human tenants have moved away.
