Welcome to my world!
What you'll see here is life ... Someones real life!
Maybe mine. Maybe yours.
But always...

Day 222...One. BIG. Bee.
Day 222
I thought the bees in my own backyard garden were big till I saw several of these guys
swarming around this plant on the Liberty square.
WOW
I don't think my photo does justice when it comes to really showing the size
but...
but...
THEY WERE HUGE!!!
Day 221...Always Something
Day 221
Famous last words...
Me: to my husband ..."there is NOTHING left to take a photo of in the backyard...
I've already taken a photo of anything worthwhile out there."
Well, I suppose that statement is somewhat true but usually I CAN (and DID)
find something out there to take a photo of.
I've only got a few more months of my photo a day challenge.
I'm determined not to fail but it is getting harder.
I'm hoping that the arrival of Fall, field trips,
vacation days and the holidays will help me make it through!
vacation days and the holidays will help me make it through!
I also have a handful of family birthdays coming up that will give me a photo for the day...:)
It may not be anything stunning, but I will take a photo.... I will!
Coneflower.
I love the contrast of the dead bloom with the stem still green
Castor bean plant...Love these!
They're so gorgeous for being so poisonous!!!

Day 220...Ditto (Orioles Again)
Day 220
Well, I do love my birdies...
They come just for me, ya know! :)
Another day, just like yesterday.
The Orioles were flying into my feeder off and on all day long.

I enjoy them so much. I've had a greater variety of different birds in past years
but this year, the Orioles have made up for the lack of other birds showing up.
They're just so beautiful. I'm glad I have my mom's love of birds!!!
Once again, like yesterday, not the greatest photos
but I captured lots of activity at the feeder!!

One of the more beautiful males that frequent my feeder!
Pretty boy... :)
young female (L) and young male (R)....I think
I think this is a young male on top and two females below
I think this one's saying...:"you can kiss my bright orange patooty with that camera, lady!"
Day 219...Orioles Still Here!
Day 219
Today I've seen sooo many different Orioles at my feeder.
At one time there were six within sight at the same time!
I love them. They are so beautiful!
My photo's aren't as clear, crisp and focused as I would like because
they've been cropped quite a bit to zoom in.
A longer lens is definitely on my wish list!!!!
Here's one photo of a female that was cooperative enough to land
fairly close so I didn't have to crop as much.
The Males on the other hand seemed to know I was waiting with my camera.
They always seem to be a little more skittish than the females
and although I sat patiently with my kitchen window opened,
for at least 15 minutes, they did not fly down to my feeder until after I shut the window.
I really do think they saw me sitting inside at my window!
Here, two of the males sat in my Sycamore tree just waiting, and watching for me to leave!
Day 218...A Little Rain
Day 218
Well, unfortunately for us, here in Liberty, all that rain we were supposed to get
turned out to be less than 3/10 of an inch... :(
Maybe next time...
It was sprinkling a little when Mark and I went out to dinner!!!
Woo Hoo!!!
