Thanks for all the good words, folks. I decided the raccoons are Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod. Last night they knocked down my hummingbird feeder, so they are in my bad graces.
I got a new camera this year with an amazing zoom and it makes taking butterfly photos much easier. I can't seem to get my frogs to pose, though.

You take wonderful photos! What kind of camera did you get?

Sorry I got carried away with photos. The last couple are not entries for the contest. My camera is a panasonic lumix dmc-fz28, with an 18x optical zoom and a 27mm wide angle lens. It is a lot heavier than my old canon that fit in my pocket but it takes much better pictures.

You DO NOT want Raccoons around your home, particularly if you have children in your home. They are more likely to pick up things and not wash their hands before eating.

Amazingly, I haven't taken many photos this month. I'm temporarily taking care of grandkids and photography has fallen by the wayside temporarily.
Anyway, here are some Water Lilies taken at the Little Red Schoolhouse Nature Center on the day of the dedication of their new, big facility. John ![]() |

Oooooo I could hang that one on my wall!
I'm taking care of a little one too. I went north last weekend to regain my sanity.... ![]() I do enjoy almost every minute spent with him. 3-1/2 year olds love learning. He planted flower bulbs today. Stringy roots down, pointy end up. Even dug his own hole, buried and watered the things... He impressed the heck out of me! ![]() A close up of a floral brings the details to life. Some of its parts look amazingly like tiny insects and their antennae!

A very cool macro of the flower details! It's amazing how a commonplace thing can become a whole new world when you take the time to look closely. We're surrounded by a million little miracles every minute of every day, we just have to take the time to look and see them.

Yes, John (jpdenk)...that is bea-U-tiful. It is art. Quote:
Jeff (my partner) might be embarrassed that I'm including this, but, unless I show him something from here, he never seems to read it on his own. We were planting onion sets in the garden one year and, as we were finishing up, I noticed that he was putting them in any which way! I showed him the right way, and we went back through what he had planted. Apparently, no one took the time to teach him "stringy roots down, pointy end up"! Good job! Enjoy those moments. Quote:
(Yes, guys, I know they are really the stamens of the flower--or at least I think that is what they are.) |
