Backyard Photographic Journey...

What a pleasant surprise. Last year I stocked my pond with 20 Koi. But, by the end of summer, a crane spotted them and proceeded to eat all but one. That one fish survived over the winter, only to die a few weeks into the spring of this year. So I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a couple of fish in the pond. I decided to get some shots of the fish today when my pond was unusally clear. I still can't believe it... my fish, had fish!This bug also surprised me today. Have you ever heard of the Eastern Eyed Click Beetle? I never have until this little bug showed up at my house. I thought it was a little creepy when I first saw it. But I quickly grabbed my camera and got a couple shots before it flew away. It photographed very well. Very interesting to look at... now that I'm not face to face with it! :o)


Can't wait to see what photographic journey tomorrow brings!

Getting busy

Today is an overcast day, but that didn't stop me from finding something to photograph. In fact, one thing I noticed... is just how BUSY things are out there. Take for example this fine couple, who didn't seem to mind me watching. Upon close inspection... you notice their cute little noses and those chipmuck cheeks... they look as if they came straight out of Whoville.
Then there were those today that don't mind everyone getting in on the act. Heck, while your at it... why not eat some of that leaf too. Some sort of love-orgy-food fest going on here folks.



Well, those are todays pictures. Hope you enjoyed them!
