When I can't sew I love to take pictures. I don't take many of people...although I will if I have to. I lean more toward the un~noticed things just right outside my front door. Its a great stress reliever for me....and we all need more of those? Right?

Taken on an obviously Foggy day...I wasn't liking exactly how MANY of these there were hangin' out on the fence..

This little seed pod has a scowl! He's not likin' the cold either. Growing on a tree by my front driveway.

Me & my daughter followed this little guy all over the back yard.

I LOVE big blue bugs! This is the only one like this I've seen. I think he could see his reflection in the lens of my camera. He was in Love!See his whiskers!!

Beautiful shots. I think these are the things we take for granted in life. I loved seeing them. Keep it up.

SEEEEEEE I told you. I knew they would be fantastic pictures. I like the wasp, the blue bug and his whiskers and really really like the frosty flower. I was hoping you would post some and you did. But my very very favorite is the seed pod. I would love to have a bunch of your nature pictures. I would make you a collage like I do here. Only I sue pictures of flowers. And I hide pictures of birds or animals amongst the flowers. They are very good pictures. I will find the picture of my flowers and post it for you to see. You are a very good photographer.---Pam

Here is the picture. It isn't very good. The one of the pond did't do well. It was my first experiment.

Love your pics! The spider web is a cool shot! You must have a very powerful telephoto lens. What magnification do you use?
