April 25, 2011-More new flowers. My neighbor has a bunch of new flowers she recently planted; she wasn't sure what these are.

  • May 04, 2011-A cicada, same group as yesterday's picture a little more details. This is the Diceroprocta apache species. The red eyes are the giveaway. They produce the loudest sounds in the insect world recorded at over 100 decibels and it's the males that make the noise to call the females. The adult male cicada possesses two ribbed membranes one on each side of its first abdominal segment. By contracting and releasing the membranes a sound is made. There is more to it, but I won't give a biology lesson. They also make these sounds in defense. (Day 124:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> thanks for all the comments on yesterday's picture.
  • May 03, 2011-New molt. As I was having my coffee without a daily posted I spotted these cicadas just emerging from their cast off exoskeletons. There are five on the lattice work this am. Day 123:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> Thank you very much for all the comments on my daisy shot. I just wish my Grandpa could have seen it and I could hear him sing it one more time for me.
  • May 02, 2011-"Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do. I'm half-crazy over the love of you..." Every time I see a daisy that song pops into my head, which is something my Grandfather would sing every time I spotted a daisy while on our walks. Oh how I miss my Grandpa. (Day 122:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 01, 2011-Peek-A-Boo. I can't be sure if she was playing or pretending to be camera shy. Either way I caught her. (Day 121:365 @sharkbayte)
  • April 30. 2011 - A female Common Whitetail skimmer. I wish I had my macro lens on when I spotted her. I would have liked to get closer and more details. thank you for all the wonderful comments on my Deer Family shot, your encouragement keeps me focused. (Day 120:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> Plathemis lydia -
  • April 29, 2011-Stopping by for a quick grazing. I haven't seen the deer in weeks. I was a bit worried but they are back and the little button buck is growing fast, his antlers are sprouting more and he is thin but overall looking good, which made me happy. (Day 119:365 @sharkbayte) Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my shot yesterday!
  • April 28, 2011- Some days, I could wring a few people's neck or shake them silly…but, I like to believe I am above that. Still the thought does cross my mind, even though physically I couldn’t. Disclaimer**No toys were physically or mentally harmed during this session. (Day 118:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> thank you for all the comments on my picture yesterday, you folks rock!
  • April 27, 2011- Rain drops and Irises, okay should have been roses, but this is all I have for today. I briefly went outside to take pictures and then the t-storms returned. I didn't want to risk getting tagged or having my camera drenched. I am sure the camera might withstand the rain but with my luck, I didn't want to experiment. (Day 117:365 @sharkbayte)
  • April 26, 2011-Some sunny colored marigolds for my yard. These are the next victims for my yard. Thank you for all the comments on my pictures! I really do appreciate you checking them out. (Day 116:365 @sharkbayte)

  • April 24, 2011- An angel or tree flower, this reminds me of an angel; the head is the center of the flower, with two wings or arms and the body. As a kid, we had several small white angel ornaments for Christmas and this reminds me of them. Thank you for all the comments on my photos. Happy Easter! (Day 114:365 @sharkbayte)
  • April 23, 2011 – “The Easter Bunny helpers.” When Rickey and Jun left the house early today, I followed them as they were being so secretive. Now I know what they were doing and we have to keep the area a secret because they were doing a special task. Today’s task was to help gather the special eggs for the Easter Bunny. Santa has his helpers, so why not the Easter Bunny? (Day 113:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> thank you for all the comments on my pictures yesterday!
