Color, color everywhere, so here’s a bradford pear…

Home of the daily, and sometimes nightly, grind.

History

No matter where you’re at, or how you bat, you gotta love when history goes down like that. Congratulations to President Barack Obama.

Here’s something from a few snaps I took of Citadel cadets registering to vote.

An Oak Leaf Hydrangea’s Last Gasp

These Oak Leaf Hydrangeas have been a great addition to the yard, and produce leaves that are amazing all year. I’ve blogged about the blooms before, but there’s even something cool about these leaves as they fall off. The fact that the leaves are bigger than my head make it all the better.

We caught this male (I think) praying mantis sunning itself on our deck.

Blue Fly Friday

This brilliant blue fly was buzzing all around us the other day, and I couldn’t resist trying to capture it. I had no tripod, nor was I prepared to shoot a fast moving nervous fly, but I got this shot out of the 10 I fired off. You gotta love blue critters.

Strange Garden Shot

I bent down into one of the beds the other day, and came up with a spattering of chigger bits. I also ended up with this weird shot, where the wide open 1.2 aperature delivered some unexpected goodies. This is a like some kind of bizarro bokeh.

Ahhhhhh, Grasshopper

Hey, have a look at this dead, ant-filled grasshopper. Spiky legs!
