5-30-14: I saw these dandelion seeds stuck on a web. The spider was long gone. I used flash on this so the background dropped out. Stuck

5-29-14: After a through purging of books from the library (I still have many that I did not get rid of), I hand shelf space to put something other than books. It's my odds and ends cool little toys shelf. Yes, that is a slinky. I like slinks. I also have one of those magnetic sculptures...

5-28-14: As you may guess, purple is my favorite color. I planted the columbine from seed about 10 years ago. They pop up every year. Since they produce about a zillion tiny seeds per flower, I do not think they will be disappearing any time soon. I also noticed that the deer do not find...

5-27-14: It figures, the one time I do not take my camera out with me when I walked my dog, Jenny, in the morning, there was actually something to photograph. It's another one of those icky iPhone photos. We surprised this deer as much as it surprised us. I didn't even notice it until is...

5-26-14: I found these when I was going through one of the bookshelves. They are a set of three Star Trek Hallmark ornaments that I bought my husband, who knows how long ago. They are about 1.5" long each. Tiny by ornament standards. I took this quick snap with my iPhone. I hate taking...

5-25-14: The only good yellow jacket is a dead yellow jacket. This guy must have gotten stuck on the screen and died there. BTW, after I took the photo, I pushed up the screen and swiped him off the screen and outside.

5-24-14: Since we have a lot of coyotes, and red and grey foxes around lately, the rabbit population is way down. This is the first one I have seen in a couple of weeks, other than road kill.

5-23-14: Spent the the first day of my 4-day weekend running around doing errands and such so I have the rest of the weekend free. I did spend some time in my little library and finally went through the remainder of the books in the room. That does not mean I am done with books. I now have...

5-22-14: Spider photos continue, but this one is partly hidden and I did not notice it until I uploaded the photos and took a closer look. Hidden Spider

5-21-14: More skeezy spider photos. I love warm weather. :) These two are labyrinthine orb weaver spiders. They are pretty common around here. This photo is the top side of the same spider as last night. Definitely not as yucky looking from the top.

5-20-14: I love this time of year... more creepy spiders. :)

5-19-14: Yup, it's that time of year again.... Creepy, Skeezy....

5-18-14: I saw this family and just thought they were really cute. Babies!

5-17-14: The local grey and red foxes have totally decimated the rabbit population. These are the only ones I saw. Thank you Beatrix Potter for Flopsie, Mopsie, and Cottontail. :)

5-16-14: Finally, the trees are actually growing real leaves!! YAY!!

5-15-14: I think that dandelions can be very interesting photographically. Some of my neighbors don't think that way.

5-14-14: I took advantage of a beautiful day this afternoon. My photography class went outside and took all sorts of photos. We have a few very old trees around the agency grounds. Here is part of one. There is a brick walk between two of the dorms. People can donate money and get a...

5-13-14: I have been spending so much time working on things around the house (my library is still a work in progress), that I almost forget to go and take some photos. :( Anyway, I think I mentioned before that my forsythia this year has been really sad in the flower department. Below is...

5-12-14: Now I know it is really spring. The tulip maple is finally sprouting some leaves. All we needed was a few warm days, and everything is finally transforming itself. Leafing Out

5-11-14: Finally, my bird feeder is getting visits from more than just chickadees, nuthatches, and the occasional red squirrel. This bluejay was flying back and forth across the back lawn and finally settled on this bush. It kept looking around as if no one could see it. Bet You Can't See...
