Day 34- "Mommy and Her Babies"

Normally we don't have little baby turkeys come up to the feeding spot until they are at least twice as old. Maybe the hot summer has something to do with it? Anyways these little guys are normally unseen until they can fend for themselves somewhat. We have never seen them in the wild this small before. This was Sunday 7-11-2010. Cute little buggers aren't they?

Day 31- "Fishing Hole"

I like this shot. The sun is just out of it enough to not wash it out but make a huge difference. This is one of those drive-by shots that you hope comes out. I've been trying to get this pond for several tries now. I thought I'd actually missed it again with this one Thursday morning 7-08-2010. I love the tint, reflection off the water, and the ambiance from the whole scene. I even like the bent sign. I'm not sure why but it somehow fits like it's suppose to be here.

Day 28- "Oh Deer"

We had a guest in our backyard Monday 7-05-2010. This little guy was just walking around like he owned the place. He blocked the drive way then moseyed on back to the salt lick we have for them in the backyard. He hung around for a good ten minutes which is very long for deer. They are very skittish and usually eat very little before they take off.

Day 26- "Stop and Smell the Butterfly"

Most of the time I see the butterfly only when it's leaving. Today I saw him sticking around a while. Not sure if the flower is a carnation or not but it blooms up and down the main stem at all different times. It was very peaceful 7-03-2010 Saturday afternoon.

Day 20- "Leaning Lilies"

You every been to Mystery Hill? All the trees grow like this. They claim there is a strange magnetic pull of some kind on this hill that makes water flow uphill, guys are able to balance on a chair leaning against a wall 2 feet above the floor on a small ledge, and other weird stuff. It's all a parlor trick but I have a mystery hill in my backyard! Walking around my house on Sunday 6-27-2010 I noticed them for the first time. I've seen them but not from this angle. Maybe they're reaching for sunlight?

Day 11- "Watcher O'er the Shop"

Isn't this the coolest shot? That bird is real and it's perched on the Bass Pro Shop sign. It's like having deer cross in front of a deer crossing sign. I got out of my car on Friday morning 6-18-2010 to take it. I knew it was slightly a risk to get too close to him but it was a chance I was willing to try...at least once, right?
