Hummingbird in the House!


A couple of weekends ago, when it turned cool and we turned off the AC and opened up the doors and windows but had not yet put the screen up on the front door, a little hummingbird flew in the house and stayed in the big room all afternoon. Here he is sitting on the antler chandelier; he did not take kindly to my photographic efforts, nor our efforts to gently guide him back to the great outdoors. Finally, after many hours, he figured it out on his own.

The Velvetiness of a Cat: Tenth in a Series

My Accursed Computer

My $(%*&#$% computer is broken again. Hope to be back and running ASAP so I can post photos of the wolf spider mother who had dozens of tiny babies in my bathtub. Yes, really!

Front Feet of Hamilton: Seventh in a Series

Hamilton's Little Problem: Sixth in a Series


He drools. Excessively. Effusively. It's really a drawback to lap-time.

Scorpion #6 of 2009


I found this poor little thing struggling mightily in a spiderweb (which also had much dog & cat hair in it) in the bedroom this past Sunday night. He lives out by the wellhouse now. There is no doubt that the spider had lots of other food at hand.


Tailful of dog/cat hair


Are those really its eyes?? Why, yes! We know that they are its Median eyes, thanks to this groovy website!

Tiny Spider on Garlic Chives


Taken on Sunday; I found the spider when I was shooting the little butterfly. I think it's a type of crab spider but can't ID it for sure.
