These were way above my head so I did the best I could. The wind made them go around in circles. I think the artist should have allowed the wings to flutter also.

We have people around here who have bonsaied the bushes around their mailboxes. I will try to get a photo, if I remember, the next time I pass by them.

Keeps the bugs out of their eyes. They can see through it.

I think they will need them this year. I just read an article about the humongous, aggressive mosquitoes that live in Florida: gallinippers. Yuck!

The giant Gallinippers are kind of reclusive and it's not easy to get a photo of one, but I got lucky. Here's a young Gallinipper mosquito among a crowd of people.

Not the greatest photos. These swallows are hard to snap they move so fast. I've been trying for days.

Thanks Pat! I started to notice them about a week ago flying throughout the wetlands. Thank goodness for digital. I can't tell you how many blurry and/or birdless shots I took. They fly way to fast.
