From a ride in the Don Valley on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with a couple other TPMGers. We stopped to take pics of these grasses. They were very tall. This was the first shot I took, and I think my favourite of my bunch! Somewhat inspired by -stacey-'s photos of grass.
Explored! Highest, 53.
This small bumblebee is an early bumblebee (Bombus pratorum), sometimes called the early-nesting bumblebee.
This particular one found what must've been a very tasty pink flower as it stayed there eating for quite some time, ignoring my camera.
'Fuzzbutt' Fardoragh always seems to really enjoy his position as Commander of "The Rats in the Walls" Rodent Control Corps of Star Fleet.

Someone complimented me for my fuzzy arm in another photo, so I figured I'd post a couple photos that show off my fuzziness more.
I'd love to hear what you think!
Fig tree is filling up. Now to keep animals and birds from eating them before I can pick them. I'm thinking of wrapping the tree in netting.
This was a photo I took with my iPhone one sunny day at Old World Wisconsin. That day I took many plant and insect pictures, but this one was by far my favorite. An old photo of mine, but I’m also new here, so I’m putting some old ones on here!
The huge inflorescence on a purple angelica (Angelica gigas) becomes a walk-in (walk-on?) buffet for this Saxon wasp (Dolichovespula saxonica) - and simultanously for a lot of its brethren.
Canada Goose Goslings are cute... even if they turn into major poop factories later. This little one was near the Burlington Pier, and was more interested in the grass than all the people walking by.
After catching Canadian Pacific Heritage Unit 7018 on the CP Chicago Sub in Genoa, there also happened to be an eastbound Canadian National train approaching on the Freeport sub a few miles to the south. With enough time to spare, we haded to the one and only grade crossing on the Freeport in Genoa, Sycamore Street. I was hoping to get a shot of the old Illinois Central depot here, but it is now entirely off-limits. So we set up in the factory parking lot across the street. But in the process of setting up our flashes, we attracted the attention of some of Genoa's finest. One sqaud car became three, and we were now surrounded. Having never shot trains in Genoa at night before, this was certainly a most unexpected development. But it turns out that they were well familiar with my "partner in crime," one Gilbert Sebenste, who has shot trains at this location many times before. When he told them we were here to photograph the train, they said something about hearing about him. We were just about to show them the pics we had taken a few minutes prior of the CP 7018, and then it happened!
Suddenly the crossing lights started going off, the gates came down, and the train horn started blowing. All of the officers jumped in their vehicles to take off. They wanted to get out of our way, but Gilbert hollered for them to stay. Two didn't hear and sped off. The third hung back to watch. I heard what Gilbert was trying to do, so I lifted my camera and pointed and prayed. This heavily cropped image ended up being the result. Because it happened so fast, I was unable to get into proper position. So by no means is this the best image in the world. But at least I was able to get one of the officers and the train together. For his part, in all the excitement Gilbert forgot to turn his flash transmitter on, so all he got was black. In the end, we both got busted. But fortunately, we did not get busted.
