Jonathan Livingston Seagull

I believe I read the book when I was in middle school and I remember it well. One of my favorites.

Patrick Print

For those of us who have children or grandchildren, I thought you'd get a kick outta' this one!

I thought you'd be able to see it better if I rotated the photo so that it's upside down. Put a pair of flowered shorts on that little starfish there and it's totally Patrick from Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants TV show!

It was truly amazing how many starfish were on this one section of beach. Unfortunately, some had even buried themselves in the wet sand and some were so tiny, that people had trampled on them.

Hey guys, wait up!

My son and I did some exploring in our subdivision yesterday. We happened on these cute little guys who had just taken a bath in a nearby lagoon.

Friends

My friend the frog comes back almost nightly to sleep on my front step. Usually, he's alone except on this particular night he had an icky little friend keeping him company.

For some reason, I couldn't get the shot right by taking it in the normal fashion so I used to my infrared night shot feature. Not all the night shots I take with this feature come out this grainy. I'm still in the process of figuring out my camera!

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...

Like every other early morning, I was taking the dog out one time last week when I noticed something on the front step as I was about to re-enter my house. At first I thought it was a wasp's nest that the pest control guy had knocked down during his last visit. Upon further inspection I saw that it was this cute little guy...

It's a frog!!

Butterfly Bonanza

Yesterday, as I stepped outdoors to take my dog for one of his first morning outings, was one of the most beautiful and massive butterflies I'd ever seen and as I noticed later on in the morning, butterflies were in abundance everywhere! Unfortunately, the photos below just don't capture the true perfection of this creature. But boy, did she really make up for my accidentally deleting 100 photos from my July 4th outing!
