Too Cute for Comfort

August 20, 2014 Timothy Price23 Comments

Does this sweet little kitten look like a total beast who’s racked up a $100 IOU on his kitty account for things he’s destroyed? Don’t let his angelic looks fool you — he is much too cute for comfort. The problem is, he is so cute that it’s difficult to get mad at him for destroying really nice things like new silk scarves.

My Big Ten Inch…

August 13, 2014 Timothy Price23 Comments

I sit on the deck ready to get shots of zipper spiders, dragonflies and whatever other insects, birds and beasts come to visit the various foliage around the deck. — for some reason, Laurie got all excited and took cell phone photos of me with my big ten inch lens ready to shoot. Take a listen to “Big Ten Inch” by Bull Moose Jackson.

I was looking straight up at this hummer and he was looking back down at me.

Dinosaur In Our Midst

Up close and personal, this cucumber beetle larvae looks like a hyper-spiny ankylosaurus or other prehistoric creature. I don’t know what type of wasp is on the brown eyed Susan, but it’s quite colorful. The last photo is purple cosmos backlit in the early morning light.

The Birds & The Bees

August 4, 2014 Timothy Price15 Comments

Baby Blue Grosbeak took his first flight out of the black bamboo and fluttered over to a sunflower. Daddy Blue Grosbeak hopped around near where baby had flown concerned about the paparazzo sneaking up on Baby Blue. Mama Blue Grosbeak fluttered around in the bamboo, but would not come out into the open. I got up close to Baby Blue, got some photos before he flew off into our giant Dr. Huey rose bush that made his papa and mama very happy.

The temperatures on Saturday and Sunday were much cooler, only getting up to 80º F, so the birds and the bees were actively foraging on our abundance of plants that are either in bloom or going to seed.
