my lucky shot

Here's my kitties!--------I didn't notice the tigers on the rug, until I downloaded the pics.

Early one morning,under an eastern facing window,I said grace , before I fed them.

I was just thankful!

my turtle friend at night

I've been feeding him and his friends for almost two decades now.

yard flowers

some wild flora and the sprouting of the dreaded zuchinni

more bird homes

It's hard to get the right light and angles on some of these,I'll keep trying.

birdhouses

first of a few bird houses.

My daughter-in-law painted these,after I built them.

The peace sign house had two birds move in and raise a family about ten days after I hung it up.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Proud mama

here come the blackberries

another yellow weed

I've been snooping all around my yard,looking for flowers to shoot.

I've got plenty of flowers but I lack focus.

Hope I can learn to work this electronic camera.

some mosses?

Just wish I could get better pics.

I'll keep working on it.

some more weeds

I sure do appreciate these and I am going to try some pictures of other weeds around my yard.

beauty can come in such a small package

If I didn't get close I wouldn't see the detail in these flowers,they are almost too small to be called flowers,

any smaller and I probably would not even see them.

upstream

Guess I'll have to get in the water to get the tunnel effect of the overgrowth here.

my stream

I am going to keep trying to get the light and focus right,but meanwhile I'm not going to wait for a perfect shot before I post.

Sure do wish I could capture the beauty of my surroundings,but at least it gives a hint of it.

my junk pile

old carving attempt in with my other junk.

so green so blue

I never get tired of seeing this in my yard.I think I caught the blue here.

through my window

I just love the feel of living in the woods.

my oldest daughter.I don't remember what she did,but I just had to capture this look.

baby girl with turnip,about 1998

my garden was a little past it's prime in the mid-summer heat.

I am so glad I took this shot.

hollow log

I hope to learn how to use my camera,but for now at least I am posting!I am so tickled.

I have plans for this log ,bird feeder or bird house.haven't decided yet.

I have an appreciation and almost a reverance for most things wood.Up close the wood grain and bug marks are a treat for me.

a weed

you can buy a spray to kill things like this.

I can't understand why.
