Quit hiding your head behind a tree!!!
No, look this way! This way!
Okay, got it! :) You can quit looking at me like you want to have me for dinner now. Go back to whatever you were doing. :)
Sometimes getting your subject to look at you is not a good idea. Remember this particularly...

Here the wild garlic, also know as wild onion and allium, is still in its pod. My dad had found them growing along a creek and harvested and planted them. So every year without fail, we have a group of them resprout and grow in the backyard.
And they are edible. :)

Last night I took pictures of our storm clouds. We had severe weather due west of us, tons of thunder and ominous clouds. I love my FB fans!!! I posted these, didn't know what they were, and one of them shared and a reader of hers who is a poet and artist commented and offered the link listed...

My son actually worked on one of the trails here for his Eagle Scout project. Cub Scouts and other Boy Scouts work on them too. It's a wonderful gift to area residents.
Here are some wildflowers just beginning to open up.

Do you see the way the flowers look half eaten? That's probably due to the bug on the leaf. It's a bug eat flower world out there.
Except when it comes to the ladybug below. She's eating the bugs. So in her case, it's a bug eat bug world. :) I had visited the Carleen Bright...

After the rainstorm, I was capturing reflections in the water--the clouds, the cypress tree, and the house. I really had planned just to take pictures of the plants with water droplets on them. But when I was returning to the house, I saw it in a double image in the water and thought how cool...

I'm also still working on Jaguar Hunt. 74,...

I have two lovely children who have honored me for Mother's Day and I love them. It's times like these I miss my own mother, who was my best friend, who died some years back.
Have a lovely Mother's Day. If you are a mother, pat yourself on the back. It's a tough job, but someone's...
