Field of Dreams

Well, at least for the bees this was a field of dreams.  These are some of the flowers that all the bees were buzzing around from yesterday's photo….

Beehavior

Here's a bee doing what bees do best…either gathering nectar or gathering pollen (sometimes both). I did have a shot of another bee with tons of pollen on…

Leafy Lettuce

I'm not a huge fan of lettuce. I like a salad here and there but not all the time. However, I really like the look of lettuce growing…

Chicken Run

This chick doesn't look too friendly. She may have just been giving me a look of curiosity since I was sticking the camera lens through the chicken wire. …

I’m so blue (and green)

I went down to Plympton last weekend for Lilja's 3rd birthday party and ended up strolling through the gardens in her backyard. Jay made an awesome cake with…

Something Fishy

Yeah, it's pretty disgusting but it was just screaming to have it's picture taken! Apparently, someone had a pretty good meal with this big guy. I'd say this…

Lesson Learned

Yup, this is the same duck from Wednesday's post (different pose). I'm using it as an example of a lesson I recently learned. I mentioned previously that I…

Preened

This shot was taken at the reflecting pool at the Christian Science Center. This good looking guy was almost the perfect subject. He swam over to the side…

Head End

This is the turtle from yesterday's blog.  I wish there was an object, besides the turtle, in the frame so you could have a better perception of how…

Tail End

This is the tail end of a snapping turtle (I think it was a snapper).  I came across her while walking to work. I was very surprised to…

Bath Time

While the older goslins were learning how to feed there were two smaller goslins that stayed a little off to the side and bathed along side their parents. …

Follow the Leader

As you can see I was bring up the rear in this group.  I chickened out when it came to my turn to jump in the water.  However,…

Daisies

These daisies were along the hillside of the Cape Cod Canal. The white petals amongst all the green grass really caught my eye. They looked so happy and…

Rubber Tree

These are branches on a tree located at Brewster Gardens in Plymouth.  From a distance the tree looked like a very thin Christmas Tree (click here to see…

Oh, baby

Back to the baby goslings from last week.  I like the spiked hair on this little gal- very chick (sorry, couldn't resist)!  

Awww

How cute are these little guys?!  I mentioned in yesterday's post that after being perfectly still and calm, I was able to get fairly close to the goslings…

Family Waddle

Cyndi (co-worker) and I took a quick walk yesterday around part of the River Walk.  We came across two families of geese.  Of course I didn't have my…

Duck, Duck…

Goose! I'm amazed at how close I'm able to get to the geese that hang out near my work.  There was one goose that came up out of…

Blooming

Here she is. I'm pretty sure this is the same pink bud I took last week, now in full bloom. She looks very fragile- as if a small…

Yellow Bud

This magnolia bud was taken the same day as the peaking through image.  When you walk into my building at work there is the yellow magnolia on the…

Flower Power

The second workshop I took at last weekend's retreat was "Flower Arranging."  Those who know me probably find it surprising that I would signup for this workshop.  Even…

Peaking through

When I walked up to the front door at work I couldn't help but notice the magnolia tree starting to bloom.  It probably had to do with the…

Spring Tulip

I didn't realize that yesterday was the first day of spring when I posted my image.  It's been a long week and everything is a bit of a…

Faking It

When I was out walking around the neighborhood last weekend I ended up at a small cemetery.  From the distance I saw a basket of colorful flowers by…

Soon…

I’m really looking forward to Spring when all the trees and flowers start to bloom.  Yesterday was the first day in a month that I went out and…

If only…

I mentioned in Wednesday's post that from the walkway we were able to see dolphins.  Well, I tried getting a few pictures but my lens wasn't quite powerful…

Intertwined

One of the Banyan trees from yesterday's photo, up close and personal.  This photo gives you a better look at the intricately woven roots. I find the image…

Great Blue Heron

I believe this is a Great Blue Heron.  Or maybe it's just a Grey Heron?  It's a bird that's most likely a heron.  I even asked someone what…

Banana Bush

This is a banana bush in my uncle's backyard in Florida.  Not a tree but a bush…I kept mistakenly calling it a banana tree.  I really have nothing…

Pelican Perch

I mentioned pelicans in yesterday's post so it seemed fitting to post one today.  There's something about pelicans that fascinate me.  Maybe it's the fact that I don't…

Polly want a sandwich?

Mom and I drove over to Jupiter Island and parked at the beach so we could walk around the area for exercise (well mostly we gawked at the…

Man of War

Yesterday I mentioned how inviting the water was at the beach, yet I didn't go in.  Well, besides not having a bathing suit on that day, seeing these…

Put em Up

I love this little guy.  While I was taking another picture he sort of ran over near me.  I think he thought I was going to steal his nuts…

On the Rocks

How cold is it at the beach in winter?  Well, that's not giant bird turd on the rocks…it's ice!  Another factor that made walking the jetty a little…

Almost 300 Horse

On the train home from work yesterday, I watched a podcast of PhotoshopUser TV on my iPhone.  Sorry, I just couldn’t resist throwing that in.  Anyway, I did…

Benton

This is Benton, he is a rescued puppy.  Apparently, the puppy farm he was born on sent him off to the animal rescue because he was too old?! …
