Okay, back to a macro image of a flower. But, what I like about this image is the background (and the bug). I really like the crisscross look…

At one point during the MeetUp I walked around looking for macro shots that weren’t of flowers. I came across a tree with mushrooms growing up the side….

Wow, where did June go! I can’t believe it’s July 1st already. This week’s forecast is scattered showers and humidity. Hopefully, July 4th will be okay so we…

Now, my brother will tell you, “this is not a cute bunny!” I would have to disagree, come on, look how cute she is. Of course, she doesn’t…

I don’t know if it’s because we had a long cold, snowy winter, or what, but I’m loving this spring! Apparently, all the animals kept busy in the…

It was a beautiful day when we meet to take photos of the dragonflies. The only issue was the wind. Apparently, if it’s to windy then they won’t…

Not this past weekend, but the weekend before I did a MeetUp with the Plymouth Photography Group. It’s been a few months since I’ve done one of the…

After all that excitement, baby swan needed a nap. I don’t blame her.

Baby swan was happy that her parents came back and didn’t really abandon her. Mom and I were also relieved that they were all together again. 

Just as fast as the swans took off, they came flying back in. Quite the show they put on. Wish my focus was better on some of the…

Yesterday, I showed the mother and father swan taking off after being aggressive towards the ducks and geese. Well, this is what they left behind. The poor baby…

These shots were taken a couple weeks ago at the Jenny Gristmill pond. The swans were being very aggressive towards the geese and ducks in the pond that…

Mom and Dad have a friendly snake that lives in the front area outside the house. Friendly in the sense that they try not to bother each other….

I don’t believe the little guy in the first photo was mooning me. He’s just learning how to feed off the bottom of the pond. It was very…

Here they are at a week old. So cute. I don’t think this is the same cygnet in the two photos. They are part of a sextuplet so…

It’s hard to believe these cygnets are only a week old. I feel like I have been following their progress for months. I suppose it has been a…

Today is a day to remember all the service men and women who have fought and died for our country. We give thanks to them and their families…

We’ve had a lot of rain the past week. Last night I couldn’t sleep due to the noise of the rain pouring down. However, all that rain seems…

Last year I took some photos of the Lady Slippers in my brother’s yard. They have sprouted again this year and are just so cool looking.  Mom and…

My brother found this amazing beautiful bird’s nest under his pontoon boat. They were removing the shrink wrap from the winter storage and getting a tune up for…

On Sunday, Mom, Dad, and I went over to check on the progress of the cygnets. They were off the nest strolling with mom and dad swan. Unfortunately,…

Back on April 29th, I showed this photo of a mother swan sitting on her nest. My aunt has been keeping a vigil on them, checking once or…

A few weeks ago when I went to dinner in the North End with friends we spotted this in the sky. I love the blue sky of twilight…

Mom said that she and Dad went down to check out the cygnets yesterday and only saw two of them, with the mother and father swan. I’m afraid…

Thankfully, I get a tax return each year. With this year’s return I invested in a nice piece of glass (lens) for my camera. I still want to…

For this year’s Mother’s Day card I used the bottom image to put on the front of the card. Mom always likes it when I make her a…

No more swan photos this week. Maybe this weekend they’ll be some cygnets hatching and I can get a shot. For today we have a Boston squirrel. The…

This swan is not part of the mother and father swans that I’ve been posting this week. This one was down at the Jenney Grist Mill. I believe…

After taking pictures of the swans I had to look up some information online since I know virtually nothing about swans. These are Mute Swans (apparently, they are…

When we first arrived at the pond, the father swan was all the way on the other side from where the mother swan was nesting. Apparently, there was…

My aunt discovered a pair of swans that are waiting to become parents. Here we have the mother swan sitting on the nest. My aunt has been going…

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to have the day off from work due to Patriot’s Day. I was also happy not to have to deal with the Red…

These flowers were blooming at my aunt’s house. They are very pretty and a nice sign that Spring is actually here. While yesterday was in the high 50s/low…

I mentioned in yesterday’s photo how the geese got so close to me I even had to backup a little.  The nice thing is I got a good…

I heard these geese squaking while they were wading in the water. I walked over to the pond and they came right out of the water and walked…

I’m ready for spring and yet it’s getting colder this week than last. Mother Nature teased us with a couple of days in the 50s. Now we are…
