Our resident wild cotton tail bunny. She's been with us 3 years and had several litters under our storage shed. She's made a place for her self there. She'll come out from under the shed to the sound of my wife's voice knowing that there's usually a small clump of peeled sweet potatoes left near by. She feels comfortable enough in our back yard that when the weather is nice, she'll lounge under one of our trees for hours. Even when we're sitting on the back deck watching. She's still wild and we don't approach her, but she doesn't seem bothered by us being there. We've watched her raise her babies to young adults before she runs them off to fend for them self. She hasn't caused any issues in the yard since she's been here. We grow mostly plants that these rabbits will not eat. The babies are so fun to watch! She loves peeled sweet potatoes and peanuts! She leaves the yard just as it gets dark, then stays out all night. She returns every morning. She sleeps most of the day, then repeats her adventure again every evening.
Guess
For those that were guessing, this is photo of banana leaf in my backyard on plant that is leafing out. When they first come out, they are rolled up. I held the flash below the leaf and shot the photo with macro setup down into the leaf with a narrow depth of field.
Captured over 2 nights, the 14th and 15th July, I was oblivious to the fact that Comet Lemmon was visiting this neighborhood :), when I processed this at first I thought I had captured aircraft lights.

Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold.

The bee's have really been all over my dahlia's lately! I even saw one sleeping overnight curled up in the petals last week.
This little one comes to our backyard everyday and plays through the window with my cat CP2. He's very smart and knows he's driving the cat nuts and know the cat can't get to him.. Fun entertainment..
This baby raccoon has learned how to raise the plexiglass front on one of our feeders. He just has a seat and cleans up the sunflower seed. This is taken in our backyard that is deep woods and it was dark and rainy, forcing me to use a very high ISO (1000) and still could only get a slow shutter speed of (1/30). I didn't realize how bad a shape my feeders in until going through the shots I took. Taken in my backyard Carthage, NC

Another mushroom from the backyard. Seems all the rain we've had has been making them pop up like crazy!!!

The back yard was populated for a while this year with these mushrooms. Initially they look rather nice, but they look like they start to liquefy or dissolve. Eventually they deteriorate to backyard mushroom picture 2.
