This picture is for the group Happy Caturday and this week the theme is "Weather".
Noah bird watching. We finally had a few more days that were in the mid 80's (Fahrenheit) but now we are back to the mid 90's. I usually open this window for about a half hour for the boys to look outside and get some air (before it gets too hot outside). We have a bird feeder and bath near this window which brings a lot of birdies for the boys to watch.
No more lizard incidents to report.... I know that Noah is very unhappy about that. Watching birdies out the window is not the same as chasing a lizard in the house! :)
I was shooting some interior pics at my grandparents' farmhouse and the cat kept putting himself in the photo.

We went up to Grafton/Alton to see the eagles flying around the Mississippi River. This eagle was at the visitor's center to promote the bird sanctuary that rehabs injured birds

I've had this one for a while and could not get it to look the way I wanted until now.
The bench is at a trail along a local lake. The trail is new and seldom used currently. This day was very windy and rainy with large storms passing through. Seconds after I shot this, large hail started to drop on me and I had to run back quite a distance to my truck with my camera tucked under my shirt and the tripod sticking out to the side. I bet I was akward looking from afar...Luckily, we both made it in one piece.
DFW Metro "Pick of the Week" #235
We were lucky to have a wedding to go to in Guatemala this weekend and had a chance to visit a few amazing sites. This is Lake Atitlan, a beautiful crater lake surrounded by volcanoes. Probably one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
one of three new baby squirrels at walton gardens too young to come out yet so just having a look whats out there
Kit Kat was safe behind the dirty, grimy window, possibly guarding all the treasures inside the shop in Cooksville, WI. He's rather camouflaged with all the other objects in the window.
Thanks for comments and favs!
No matter what your looking at, it's always framed by something. Sometimes it a physical frame, sometimes it's your frame of reference.
I ventured into Kaskaskia Canyon and was able to walk behind the frozen waterfall there. It felt like being inside the mouth of a sharp-toothed beast.
Sometimes I stare and try to catch a glimpse.

This is another shot from my trip to White Rock Lake. I was looking for piers to shoot, but this scene caught my eye because there was a great view of the clouds rolling in and the table was unusual, with one side sticking out. I really like the way the clouds turned out here, they were spectacular that day.
In a tunnel, somewhere along the TGV tracks from Paris to Zurich.

It's been storming here all day and my nine yr old has been driving me crazy singing this tune over and over..... I was going to pass on BM today, but who can resist standing in the rain, especially for a Bench Monday Photo...
Have a wonderful week everyone!

Shot this on my lunch break during the big storms. The wind was ridiculous, making for a very hard time keeping the tripod and camera still.
This photograph was taken looking out from inside a central London cafe. I liked the way that the light fell on the man on the right and the framing provided by the out of focus grey jacket.
Working on drawings in the woodland at Camp Walden. Alongside the large paintings I also drew a number of full sized charcoal drawings en situ and filled a number of sketchbooks.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so i can save more fishes.
