Actually I think the eye sees everything but the brain selectively decides what gets recognized. My mind was focused on trying to catch the bee, so that's what the brain allowed me to see.

Day One Hundred Eighty Four
Did you ever have one of those days when nothing you did turned out right? Well yesterday was one of those. I didn't even get time to log on. Once I realized it was getting dark, I set the camera up outside. Now going from a cool inside to hot muggy outside causes the lens to fog up. It took almost 10 minutes to clear up. I didn't want to drive anywhere so I waited until the moon cleared the trees. This shot was taken about 11 pm. Remember that I get up at 4 to go to work so I was almost useless today.

Hey, a fellow GeoCacher! Never go out "Caching" without a camera. Can always find something to shoot, then again we go out in the country.
Didn't think about the camera. Did find the Cache, but my "OLD" Garmin was designed for Car travel, not foot. Good think a friend had his GPS smart phone. His led us right to it. Mine said we were still 200ft away. I guess that's someting else I'll have to save up for.
Day One Hundred Eighty Eight
I try to make sure the patio umbrella gets opened several times a week to discourage wasps and other critters from nesting under there. I saw this pattern and decided it would be a cool shot. I didn't remember that a camera/lens at 70 degrees with low humidity going to 95+ with high humidity would take about 10 minutes to fully clear the fog off the surfaces. Needless to say I did finally get the shot.

Day One Hundred Ninety Two
I will be the first to admit that this is a crappy shot. After 12 hours at work, I'm not going to try and find something else to shoot. The time stamp on the photo says 5:15 am but it was really 6:15. I guess my camera doesn't set the time forward in the spring. I was going to use the tripod, but I had taken it out of the trunk this weekend. I had to boost the ISO to 800 in order to get a non blurry shot. The D-60 shots start to suck at 400 so this one is real grainy. Anyway. Today's picture is a lazy cop out of a shot but it counts.
Oh Yea... The tripod went back in the trunk as soon as I got home.

Day One Hundred Ninety Three
Couldn't decide which of these to put up so I opted for both. first one is rather dull but the darn critter stuck it's tongue out at me in this shot only
Second one was just pretty but wouldn't stop flapping it's wings so they turned out a little soft.
