Black & Yellow Macro Monday

I am ever amazed at how good my iPhone can do!  We were mini-golfing when I saw this bee buzzing around the black-eyed susans.  I wish he would have faced me, but oh well.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

Happy Mother's Day sooc

My mom loves frogs and I loved the bright colors in this one, hope she likes it!

Oak Alley Sooc 46

Even straight out of the camera I think Oak Alley is just awesome! :0) Can you tell i fell in love with the place?



And the trees! Oh how I would love to have a tree house in one of them! A place to curl up with a book and just hide from the world.

Wisconsin - sooc 45

How we fix stuff in Wisconsin. Yep, that's a Yield sign, and yep that's duct tape.

MOO!



Not sure why someone decided to place a VW Bug on a huge rock. My guess is that when it was winter they parked there, then the snow melted, lol.

Sun flare sooc #44

I just loved how the sun flared in these photos, so I left them alone and hope you like them too! :0)  I took these at the Myrtles, I think a psychic would say that round bubble thing was a spirit. . .

Sooc #43 More Myrtles

I couldn't resist sharing more of the Myrtles, the lighting was really nice and many of the photos didn't need any tweaking at all.



The backside of the plantation house.



Looking from the other end.



I bet those fans come in real handy in the summer.



I love the little island.

Harry SOOC #41

The same night that Harry lost a claw he molted - that was a sight to see!



He turned brown while he was changing and we found his old blue skin on the bottom of the tank.



Then he turned blue again.



He looked pretty wonky while his antennae were molting.

Kisses!



Update - Harry molted once again yesterday and he has a new claw! Way to go Harry!

Whooping Crane SOOC #40

I had to share a few more Whooping Crane photos - we had perfect lighting so all of these are straight out of camera. :)

Wall Drug Sooc #39

Although we have crossed South Dakota many times, we had never stopped at Wall Drug. It seems the billboards start the second you enter the state, yet we had never stopped, lol.



We did this last trip though. We browsed, and bought, and sat while having some breakfast, then we sped off into the noon sun. :0)
