Me in honey
Yet another shot of the inside of a flower. Getting this close, this often, I\’m beginning to feel like a bee, collecting some sweet nectar to make honey.
Tiger Lily
I don\’t normally do this, but I\’m dedicating this shot to my sister Melissa. For one of her dance recitals once, when we were quite young, she danced the part […]
Blue and Gold
And another color change.
Variation on a Theme
Same colors, different verse.
Pink
So I\’m changing up the colors a little bit.
More Yellow
Sometimes I\’m not very good at picking out names for my shots. Hopefully, this one speaks for itself.

So, yesterday\’s post was called Five O\’clock shadow, so this one is called Three O\’clock Shadow.

One of the five waterfalls in Tallulah Gorge.

Last Tuesday the moon looked really cool, so I grabbed my camera and tripod and spent quite a while trying to get a decent exposure of the moon. I knew […]

Paper Kite Purple Flowers
Malachite Butterfly
I should have noticed this before, but you can see the ladybug from this shot just below the wing.

What are you lookin\' at?
Malaysian Lacewing Butterfly 2
Another view oh the Malaysian Lacewing.

You may be saying to yourself, this butterfly black. Why is it called scarlet? Stay tuned, there\’s another shot from the underside, and it will make more sense.
Malachite Butterfly and Lady Bug
Tiger Longwing Butterfly
Orange Tiger Butterfly
This is an Orange Tiger Butterfly (Dryadula phaetusa) from El Salvador. Thanks Glen for the proper identification.

Red and Black
Another in a short series of extreme closeups.

Bloodroot
I can’t believe it’s been nearly three months since I posted anything. Ah well, now that the brown season appears to be reaching its end I will make more of […]
Harpers Ferry

My wife said that our son was the best Christmas Present she could have received this year. If you can’t tell that’s him in the basket on the lower left.

More waterfalls. This is Anna Ruby Falls in The Chattahoochee National Forest in North Georgia. It is about ¼ mile up the creek from my Smith Creek shot and taken […]

Yep, another photo of a waterfall, but at lease this one has flowers in it. The same flowers as the last post, that I cannot identify by name. They grow […]
Three Yellow Flowers
Forgive me, as much as I love taking pictures of flowers, and looking at them in general, I rarely learn the names of these flowers. A rose by any other […]
Dry Falls North Carolina

Daisies
Just a couple of daisies.
Sunny Day Lily
Solo Lily
I posted a photo similar to this last year. That one was made at a Day Lily Farm in North Georgia. My mother-in-law bought some of the lilies last year, […]
Jake
I told Jake to write his name with the sparklers and this is what it looked like.
God Bless America
For some reason everyone playing with sparklers decided to adopt a Statue of Liberty like pose and began singing "God Bless America".
Sparklers
The following few photos are from my family’s Independence Day festivities.

More cool critters from Animal Kingdom.
Rhino
This big fella was in the road on the Safari Ride at Animal Kingdom. The ride was held up for about five minutes while he decided whether he was going […]

My wife and I spent a week on Siesta Key, Florida, one block from where this photo was taken.
Joke at UGA
Apparently the grounds keepers at UGA aren\’t exactly Bulldog fans, or if they are, they haven\’t found a way to incorporate Red and Black into the flower scheme. This was […]
Blooming Tree
Damn my inattention to detail like the names and varieties of trees and flowers. If I paid attention to these sorts of things my photos might have better names.
