  • July 3, 2011-Early evening light on the petunias. I wasn't outside to long, as it's extremely hot again. This caught my eye as I got closer to it. My neighbor has these hanging above my head so this is about the only part of the plant I can see. (184:365)<br /> <br /> Thanks for commenting on my green snake shot yesterday!
  • July 2, 2011, (183:365) I love living in the woods, and amongst the wildlife, as there is always something to see. This beautifully colored, docile snake was three feet from my front door and eye level with me. This is a Rough Green Snake. She was about 4 feet long, very slender and more afraid of me and the neighbors that came over to see her. She was wrapped in-between the lattice work. Also there was a baby praying mantis but when she turned around , he disappeared. (I am thinking lunch), but he could have flown off, I couldn't see what happened because of the angle. Anyway this type snake can be handled and they very rarely if ever bite. They eat insects.<br /> <br /> Thanks for commenting and checking out Professor Layton! (he was thrilled with the comments).
  • July 01, 2011 (182/365) Meet Professor Hershel Layton-(レイトン教授 Reiton-kyōju). He is a professor of Archaeology at Gressenheller University in London. A rather dashing gentleman, with a brilliant mind for solving puzzles and mysteries. He drinks as much tea as I do coffee. And he always wears his top hat (I think to bed too!). Today when we chatted he wanted to run an idea past me and get my thoughts on it. I just need to get back to him with an answer before next week. (I can't believe he gave me a deadline!?!)<br /> <br /> thank you for all the comments on my deer shot yesterday!
  • June 30, 2011-She is getting more trusting with me. She actually came up to me tonight as I was trying to check on my garden. Usually she'll stay laying in the yard or by the tree. Not tonight. In a few frames she was so close I couldn't get a full shot without backing up. I thought perhaps she had a baby near by but you can see she hasn't delivered yet. In the distance is her son from last year. (Day 181:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> thanks for commenting on my Blue Jay shot yesterday and the others.
  • June 29, 2011-Finally I caught up with the Blue Jay's (Cyanocitta cristata). I had seen a few flying around at the feeders and other yards, but every time I put the camera to my face or turned to grab a shot they took off. I got a few shots, one I really liked but you couldn't tell it was a Blue Jay by the way she held her head. I had counted five so far, there probably are a few more. (Day 180:365 @sharkbayte).
  • June 28, 2011-Seeing double? As I was getting some coffee, I heard Cheburashka yelling, "Gena come quick it's us, it's us, Gena!" Gena got to the computer first and thought he was seeing double, then he read the caption and told Cheburashka it was their cousins in Russia. Susan and Rustem had photographed them and posted their picture for us to see. Needless to say all of the gang gathered at that point and then I was booted off the computer until they all had their turn playing. Oy vey! what a day! (Day 179:365 @sharkbayte) Sorry I didn't do RUSU's picture justice, I was having a hard time with the screen not showing up, then it was too light...I was getting frustrated and had to return to bed. I know that's not an excuse but I will revisit this type of shot again when I have more time and can work it out better.<br /> <br /> Thanks for commenting on my photos.

  • June 26, 2011-This is I believe a Hybrid Oriental Lily Scheherazade, that my neighbor across the street is growing. This is the yard I get most of my bird shots from. (Day 177:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> Thank you so much for all the comments and well wishes, all very much appreciated, you all are so great! I wish I was a better patient, but I get bored quickly. I stayed up a bit too much yesterday and paying for it today. So I'll try to keep a low profile today. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday.
  • June 25, 2011-By the time I went outside the sun had already set and the sky was changing colors. I grabbed a few shots, went back inside, within ten minutes or so it was raining hard. Which is a good thing we need the rain. (Day 176:365 @sharkbayte).<br /> <br /> Thanks for all the comments on my shot yesterday. I'm sorry I couldn't get to everyone's picture and comment, I hope I can comment more today, when I can sit up for a bit. (My lymphedema decided to activate, so I have to stay in bed with legs elevated as high as possible. Basically I can't sit up too long. But when I can I will try to comment.)
  • June 24, 2011-Topo is a warm, friendly kinda mole. And Baby Milo is a mischievous chimp, full of life and funny. So when Baby Milo arrived early this morning, Topo was one of the first to greet him and Topo's first words to him was "Hug my Neck" (something I only heard said in the South). Baby Milo turned to the gang and said, "What neck?" That started the day off for us. I wanted a group shoot, but things got kinda out of control. Maybe I'll get them to calm down and get that group shot for tomorrow. No guarantees with this group though. I think we are in for a weird and wacky weekend! Hope everyone's is fantastic! Just like all of you! Thank you so very much for the kind comments on my shot yesterday! You folks are the best and inspire me everyday! (Day 175:365 @sharkbayte)
  • June 23, 2011-I couldn't resist the shot as it was eye level for me and one of the few remaining flowers on this plant. (Day 174:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> Thank you all so much for that overwhelming response to my Wasp shot yesterday, your comments encourage me to learn more! Thank you.
  • June 22, 2011-This is a Paper Wasp, Polistes fuscatus (Fabricius, 1793). I believe I have the correct species as there are many color variations. Found him sitting on the fence post as I was checking the garden out. First time I had one sit long enough for me to take it's picture and without me getting chased off. (What that translates to is: I had the chair in reverse and took off like a scaredy-cat) (Day 173:365 @sharkbayte)<br /> <br /> thank you for all the wonderful comments on my Flesh Fly shot yesterday, I truly appreciate it. For those that asked the lens I used yesterday as well as today is my favorite, it hardly leaves my camera it's the canon "EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM MACRO"
