Sunflowers are from my wife's rock garden and the butterflies are mine :) We have always admired the large sunflowers and we are hoping to get some seeds for eating if butterflies don't eat them all :) This is our first attempt to grow some. Picture taken in our backyard. I don't do too many flower and insect macros but just had to take one for my wife :)

Suspicion - Terry Safford

The signature spider, which is one of the many types of orb-web spiders in India, has caught an insect and has wrapped up its lunch.

While it is consuming, there is another young and tiny signature spider, which is trying to get its fill, of course, when the larger member is not observing!

Spiders and opportunistic predators and such web parasitism is common in the kingdom of arachnids!

Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated as always.

Big and fluffy, you know them, you love them.

American Avocet and Marbled Godwith - it was interesting to see birds with such different shaped bills feeding side by side at Raymond Pool in Bombay Hook.

This chocolate film and Super Shooter Polaroid camera is certainly a match for Bodie.

Those of you that use such film and cameras do understand the feeling here. This photo is

untouched and only scanned for the upload. So many folks don't believe it, there is no processing here, nothing done in post.

"Who are you ... we want our mum!!!"

This was their first day in our house, their new home - and it was obviously scary, although we tried to make it as comfortable and safe as possible! They chose the litter bin in the bathroom as their hiding place, and barely came out for the first two days. Mind you, once they did come out there was no stopping them!

They were born on 3rd March 2003, and this was taken 11th May. Now they don't fit in the basket together!

sorry for beaing a poor contact lately, been way to busy:(( i will drop by the first chance i get:))

this picture is from last friday night, was hoping for some really lovely light, instead this dark scenery appeared. so i tried to work with what i got:)

nothing special about the comp, some rocks and seaweed, and of course some really heavy duty clouds and some distant mountains:)) it came out ok:) wanted to make this shot really low. it was a completely new place i visited and i wasn't able to explore the long beach for more than half an hour, but this place will be revisited soon, the midnight sun is coming and this place will be very good to capture the sun and the light from around 1 am:))

well well, i really hope you like this shot? the image has grown on me and in fact is becoming one ogf my favorites:))

thanks alot for stopping by, leaving comments and faves:)) i really appreciate it:))

i might not get time to process and post more pictures until next week, so i hope you all have a great weekend:))

take care everyone:))

Wet and warm October was suitable for mushrooms.

Swan and its reflection

Another walk home and another shot from about three weeks ago before it got cold and then wet and now damp and grey...

Both of my Pullip girls have an Obitsu body now. They are thrilled and I am thrilled ((^_^))

House and swans over sunrise at Passeonkquis Cove in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Sounds like the name of a British Pub. The Snohomish Valley was covered in hoarfrost on Sunday.

1J40 Hull to Sheffield and 2C14 Sheffield to Bridlington pass at the eastern end of Gilberdyke station. Very pleasant to stand watching and listening to the semaphores raise and lower and it did cross my mind that the new LED job in the foreground won't provide quite as much entertainment.

I put this shot up a few weeks ago but it has been bugging me; I thought at the time it looked sort of washed out.

This go round, I made it brighter.

This is a friend of mine and her adorable daughters in the Ponte Vedra Beach area.

This osprey and sheepshead were photographed at Tigertail Beach, Marco Island, Florida.

Phoebe's untamed brothers waiting for me to get away from their food dish so they can eat. We call them "Hiss" and "Spit", or sometimes "Piss" and "Vinegar".

Mariefred, Sweden. My business trip travel companions, when my wife isn't with me. I used to travel with three or four heavy books and often fall prey to a couple more at the airport bookstores. Now I take an e-reader called the Nook sold by Barnes & Noble. It fits in my jacket pocket. Oh, an some Cabernet is a good traveling companion, too.

Although now I'm considering an iPad, I do like my Nook. (It's similar to the Kindle from Amazon.) I read Don Delillo's White Noise on this trip.

For the last ten years or so, I've made an effort to stay a weekend wherever my business trip takes me to sightsee. This time I went to Mariefred as an outing from my business in Stockholm. This photo I took aftern having walked around Mariefred for 6 hours - I returned to the hostel to read and sip a nice cabernet in the sun on the deck at a weathered old picnic table, the wood of which is in this photo.

I like my Nook but regret one thing: The Kindle has a much better dictionary and allows your to even go to Wikipedia is the dictionary isn't good enough. The Nooks navigation to the word (to look-up) is also cumbersome. Hopefully this will be improved in a future software release.

The iPad is on a whole different plane....
