May 20, 2011-A toad's night out. Actually there were three of them close to the base of this tree. I could just about make out where they were, I had the street light and then added my flash. Took a few shots and then when I shined a flash light on to the area I realized my chair was on top of hundreds of ants coming out of all these tiny holes in the ground. Before my chair and I became ant chow, I was in reverse and scrambling to get onto the street. Not sure why I figured that would help but at least I wasn't on top of the dirt.

  • May 24, 2011-This bush is outside my neighbor's front door. It just started to bloom this past week. Of course I have no clue what it is. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions on my Humming bird shot, I appreciate it very much. (Day 144:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 23, 2011-Stopped by for a drink. Just wish I had the 100-400mm for this shot.Thank you very much for all the wonderful comments on my Mom's to be shot. It is very much appreciated! (Day 143:365 2sharkbayte)
  • May 22, 2011-Moms to be. The does are looking great, I am hoping the babies will be coming soon. I really liked how the light came through the trees on this one. I have a hard time getting the correct exposure when they are under the trees.<br /> <br /> Wow, thank you so much for all the comments on my goofy shot yesterday, I am overwhelmed by the response and it really inspires me to learn more! (Day 142:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 21, 2011-"By the light, of the silvery moon"...another night time shot, this time of a cricket. Okay and that is not the moon but a light reflected of a car tail light from my flash. Just a goofy shot for today. Thanks for all the comments on my toad shot yesterday. I was lucky I was off the ants nest in time as I saw how big it was today in the daylight. (still scratching...)

  • May 19, 2011-Blooming early or late depending how you look at it. My Christmas cactus bloomed around Thanksgiving and now it's blooming again. I haven't had that happen before, but that's okay, I think it's pretty neat. thank you for all the comments on my daily yesterday, you all rock! (Day 139:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May18, 2011 - Abracadabra! Beau went to a behind the scenes magic show. Needless to say he was not impressed with Randy the magnificent. (Day 138;365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my daily yesterday! Both Jasper and I were very appreciative,I swear sometimes he can understand every thing I say and then there are the times he acts like I am speaking gibberish.
  • May17, 2011-Funny face; Jasper just cracks me up. He seems to know when I need some cheering up or something to laugh at. (Day 137:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 16, 2011-Ready to leave. As I was rolling through the neighborhood I spotted this humming bird drinking from this feeder. It's the first time I shot a humming bird. Boy are they quick. He was gone as soon as I shot this. I am hoping to return to this feeder and watch for more hummers. (Day 136:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> Thank you so much for all the comments, help and information on my photo yesterday. I love watching clouds and capturing them.
  • May 15, 2011-Clouds. After having t-storms all night, losing power and a restless pup, the sky finally cleared and I was able to get outside. I was wondering should I be using a filter and if so what kind should I use? (Day 135:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 14, 2011-I haven't seen many roses in my neighborhood, but found this one and thought the light was neat. Thank you for all the comments on my picture yesterday. I really appreciate it! (Day 134:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 13, 2011-A nut tree? I have no idea what type of tree this is. There are a few of these in my backyard if any ones what they are please let me know. I wish I could reach some of these shells when they are full to see what is inside. Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my picture yesterday. (Day 133:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 12, 2011-Wild cat, this is Bobby, one of about thirteen cats that live next door. This guy is full of mischief, here he is on a break from some of his antics, just sitting there looking all innocent I'm on to you buddy. (Day 132:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 11, 2011-Shared flowers. These are some of the flowers that are shared between my yard and the neighbors. Thanks so much for all the comments on my emerged shot, your encouragement and support is greatly appreciated. (Day 131:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 10, 2011-Coming out of it's shell. I never actually seen this stage and thought it was cool to see it as it was actually happening. (Day 130:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 9, 2011-Now that was a party! The birthday boy after playing and partying for his birthday. Yes, Jasper my pup is five. Still full of puppy energy and unconditional love. Now, take a nap so I can have one too! (Day 129:365 @sharkbayte) Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my Mother's day shot.
  • May 8, 2011-You're never too old for your Mom's love. Here is the Mom kissing (okay cleaning) her sons face and eventually his ears. The sister sits watching. These three sleep in the yard at night. I have been watching them since I moved here last year. Surprisingly the son hasn't left and both the mom and the sister are pregnant. Happy Mother's Day!! (Day 128:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 7, 2011-Close enough. I was telling the gang today is the 137th Kentucky Derby Race, aka 'Run for the Roses'. About an hour later, Chebruashka comes inside with this and says, "Here, I ran for the roses." I cracked up and told him it was close enough. (Day 127:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> thanks for all the comments, the past few days, when I wasn't able to comment. I am back with a mac and should be able to keep up! It's so much faster than my moody pc. I have to get used to using a mac again. oh why did I ever stray? I am hoping the colors are okay as i need to find my screen calibrator and start using that again.
  • May 6, 2011-Sassy Cat. I went outside for a break from working on my computer. Saw this neat looking cat. If you look at it larger you can see she was sassing me. Okay not that we can tell that but she appears to be sticking her tongue out at me...hmm. I had to have someone upload my photo yesterday and again today for me. I am hoping my computer problems will be resolved today or at the latest Sat. Thanks for the comments on my photos, As soon as I can I will be back to commenting. (Day 126:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 5, 2011-A Marigold for Cinco de mayo. Well, it would be for any day actually. I am sorry for not commenting as much as I have been, I am having computer issues, I am hoping to have it resolved today or tomorrow. Also, thank you for the comments on my photos. Day 125:365 @sharkbayte)

    Nice find, he certainly blends in with his surroundings. Glad you spotted the ants before they were all over you!

    Terrific capture; glad you did not get stung by the ants. I guess they were not fire ants, which will quickly swarm all over you.
