6-19-14: I saw this little guy on a tree in the backyard when I had the dog out this morning. He saw the dog and me, and just froze. I did use fill flash because the light was not the greatest. At least its eyes are not as ghoulish as the squirrel's were yesterday. :) Don't Move. No One...

6-18-14: I now have two red squirrels going after the sunflower seeds in the bird feeder. I had squirrel turf wars go on for over a half hour. They even had a couple of squirrel wrestling bouts. There was also a lot of screeching and chipping/clicky sounds. By the time I was able to get...

6-17-14: I took this series of deer photos the other morning when I was walking the dog before having to go to work. I wish they were sharper but they are not bad for handheld photos at 1/80 to 1/100 sec with my non-VR 55-200 Nikkor zoom. :) I also had the dog with me. She was totally...

6-16-14: Sorry for the very poor photo but I took this through the bedroom window with the screen down. If I opened the screen, one of my more curious cats would have probably exited that way and the doe would have scampered across my neighbor's backyard. :) The brown blob with the tail, is...

6-15-14: I know, everyone takes daisy photos, so here is my contribution to the plethora of daisy photos. :) What I like about this one is that the petals are definitely not evenly spaced, and NO BUGS!!! This year's crop of Russian Comfry. I have some of this growing behind the house and...

6-14-14: Jenny always makes a good subject, even if it is just her nose. ;0 The Nose Knows I have no idea what these little purple flowers are, but they show up in my back lawn every year at this time.

6-13-14: If only real bats were as cute looking as this guy. Don't get me wrong, I love bats. They eat hundreds of bugs an evening.

6-12-14: This ceramic frog is on a shelf in the house. I like all sorts of frogs and frog things. I have had this guy for at least 10 years.

6-11-14: Yellow hawkweed at dusk. It was closing up for the night.

6-10-14: Grass gone to seed....

6-9-14: Jenny always makes a good subject, even if it's only part of her. :)

6-8-14: A pair of labyrinthine orb weavers. My students would refer to this as "spider porn." :)

6-7-14: This moth was on the other side of the glass. I liked the different point of view. Most o the time, we don't photograph the underside of a moth or most any other insect. Scrat is back. Actually, she never left. She just moved to the trees on the other side of my back lawn since...

6-6-14: Buttercup... What else can I say? :) There is always something interesting about dandelion seed puffs. Puffball I haven't seen a lot of rabbits this year, just this same one almost every day. I wish my rhododendron flowers lasted longer than they do. They are always so...

6-5-14: More spider photos. This guy had its back to the siding. Nothing like seeing a spider's underbelly.

6-4-14: I have seen this crow perch on the barn roof several days in a row. In all the years I have lived here, I never saw a crow perch on the barn roof on a daily basis. Just Sitting

6-3-14: I saw this rainbow when I worked out to my car to go to work. It's not the best photo in the world, but I haven't photographed a rainbow in quite a while. Over the Rainbow's Edge This labyrinthine orb weaver spider enjoying dinner it captured and predigested the night before...

6-2-14: We have a ton of labyrinthine orb weaver spiders around here. They are very busy as soon as the sun goes down. Fortunately for them, they prefer to stay outside. They would not have a chance with me or the cats if they chose to meander into the house. Prepping for Dinner

6-1-14: This dandelion did not last long in its puffball stage due to a good heavy rain the evening before. Poofed!

5-31-14: A very close friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. I made her his shawl so she could wear it when she gets cold, or just to feel comfy. This is the second shawl of this type that I have made for friends with breast cancer.
