05/20/07 - I got a new camera and it takes some really awesome pictures in spite of my limited abilities. I'm figuring it out, but in the meantime I did manage to get some pretty cool pictures. This is one of a little lady bug I found in the yard. Click on the picture to see a larger version. |
 |
This picture totally amazed me. This is a shot of the lady bug on my fingers - and you can see my finger prints quite well! Better than you can actually see them in real life! At any rate, it's a good picture of the lady bug and a good indication of how very cool my new camera is! |

This is the bloom from a wild strawberry. I really like this picture. It looks like the flower is in color and the background is black and white - but this really is exactly what it looked like. Hey - I'm not near good enough to actually make it look this way if it really wasn't! |
 |
Here'a clover bloom. Absolutely beautiful. And if you click it you can see detail I never knew a little ol' clover had. Very pretty. |
 |
You can not imagine how incredibly itsy bitsy this little flower actually was. Even so, my super nifty camera got a great shot. |
 |
I really like this picture. It's a clover flower, with another in the background. Dang - this camera makes me look like I know what I'm doing! |
 |
Another pretty clover. I really love the color on this one. |
 |
Now that's a nice picture! I have to tell you, the bees really love these clovers. I wasn't fast enough to get pictures of them on the flowers, but I did get some pretty good shots of them and put them on The Bee Buzz website. Check them out! |

04/20/2008 - I love the bright yellow of these buttercups. |
 |
This crapapple bloom was just beautiful. I got it enjoy it for a couple of days before the fury little gals below decided they needed a snack. I wrote about this in my blog - and included before and after pictures. |
 |
These gals showed up this morning. There were actually five of them, but I could only get a picture with four in one spot at one time. Notice the girl on the far right in the back. Yep - that WAS where I was enjoying some crapapple blooms. There are a few more up higher, and she couldn't reach those. So I may just get enough crabapples to make some jam yet. |

06/17/2008 - We had a bear wander into the yard last night. He started out checking out the compost pile. |
 |
Apparently, he found nothing of interest there, and as he started to wander off, he looked right at us in the window. |
 |
Then he decided to check out the grill. We had just finished grilling some steaks. |
 |
Bernie ran out clapping his hands and yelling and the bear took off through the woods. We immediately locked the grill up for the night. I wrote about it on the blog if you are interested. |
