Wild Grapes


This is a photo I took back in July of some wild grapes I spotted during a camping trip of ours. Apparently the birds had missed this particular cluster, because they were much larger than any others in the surrounding area. I had to climb up onto a nearby bench, but I was finally able to get a satisfactory shot.

New Kind of Bird?


Squirrels love birdseed. This is fine for photographers who enjoy snapping pictures of anything and everything they can, but birdwatchers in our area try everything within their power to keep these critters out of the bird feeders. As you can see from the picture, they can clean a person out fairly quickly.

Finger-Licking Good


The gray squirrel is a common little animal here where I live, but I actually took this photo at my cousin's birthday party yesterday. They had so many of them that I could have gotten a decent shot with my eyes closed.

Nature Getting a Perm

 

I thought this photo I took tonight was pretty neat. I really like the silk-like strands running all over the background, and the brownish strand that runs along the edge of each blade looks really neat to me. 

By the way, this is a yucca, in case you were wondering.
