More Insects, new pictures



       I love cone flowers.  They bloom forever, are very easy to grow, smell wonderful, and attract all kinds of butterflies and insects.   Leave the heads on after they bloom and the goldfinches love them or cut them for longer bloom season.







         This carpenter ant colony was in my plum tree which we lost to the storm.  Between the woodpecker and the ants it didn't stand a chance.

I is for Insects.

   Martha's A to Z photo Challenge brings us to I.  I decided to do a review of my insect collection I have taken since I started shooting.  Forgive for them all not being new but they are my favorites.  They make great subjects.  So here they are.

Insects.

H

  On my bike ride today I ran across some H's for Martha's A to Z photo shoot.  First of all a sign.  Notice it starts and ends with H.



     Then a Hawk up High


    Further along we ran across this Habitat for birds.



   And at the end of our ride we went to our Haven



    And Rick had a Hefeweizen.  Ta Da, my H's

Old Woods Character

  I just love old wood.  It just begs to have its picture taken.

Pics my Granddaughter fixed.

  I took this shot.  Loved the shadow of my granddaughter.



      She used photoshop and made it look like this.  I like this one also.



      She's 7.  Typical of most children these days I showed her once and off she went, a pro already.  I took the first, and she fixed the 2nd.

F = Flowers

 A to Z photo shoot with Perceptions.

  I know, I know.  I am stuck in a rut with the flowers.  But they are just so pretty.



        I really like the way this yellow turned out.  The shading on the bottom one peaking out.



     Again I like the way the light is in the center of this iris casting the shadows of the pedals in the front.
