Bloom floats in my pond

Butterfly on my bamboo

Squirrel on my fence...............

inspired by my morning walk in the yard 8/10/07.

I saw all these things this morning.

But I only captured the butterfly today,with cell phone,darn!

Squirrel and lily pad bloom,were taken at other times.

It was to hot and humid to bring out my camera this morning.

My grandson Patrick,with little mama Toni.

Storm,all 4 were taken at night in 20 minutes.un-edited.even the cool blue sky.

Daughter's shots,with a plain auto focus camera

Tags: I think she has a pretty good eye for composition, maybe one day we will have a finer camera.

Once a year treat from my Pond

Summer!

my squirrel friend

I've been talking to him a lot,trying to gain his confidence.I kept seeing footprints and evidence of pilfering in my shed.I was afraid I had a rat!My daughter left some Easter chocolate footballs on the table and the next day I found the wrappers neatly peeled on this can.Oh boy,if I could have caught him unwrapping those, I could have had the ten-thousand dollar video!I leave my door open all day,and I caught him sneaking in!What a treat,glad it wasn't a rat,I started leaving peanuts outside with my birdseed and inside my shed too.I was reading my paper,looked up and there he was,eating.Carefully I set up my toy camera and waited as he came and went.Every time he came in I used continuous shooting mode to catch as much of my little friend as I could.
