Close ups of a Different World

Love this picture, the close up with the back ground faded flowers.

This little beetle, floating on a leaf. I didn't see the other little bugs there.

Looks like corral doesn't it? It's growing on the side of our pine tree. In the first picture, you can see the spider web strung across it.

Does anyone know what kind of flower this is? It looks like a miniature of my Angel Trumpets, it's growing on a mound of dirt my husband got.

This baby cone flower looks like it's suspended in mid air!

When I looked at this picture, I was surprised to see this ant! Gives an idea of how tiny the flower is.

A Morning in the Park

This morning I spent some time in Pine Grove Park, I enjoyed the time of solitude, and was joined by these seagulls,

and this squirrel, who kept me company and entertained me with his antics!

He stayed right by my table, and happily posed for me!

I know he was probably expecting some food, but I didn't have anything to give him.

But being that close to him was a real treat!

It was a beautiful day out today, so I went to Vantage Point in town. It's on the St. Clair River, just before the mouth of Lake Huron. Boat Nerd World Headquarters are located there. I was hoping to catch site of the tall ships on their way up the waterways to Bay City. My hour long wait turned into the whole day waiting. So I took advantage of the situation to practice with my zoom lens. First I saw these geese, just lazing along the riverfront.


Across the river in Canada, this plane was taking off. I could barely see what I was taking a picture of it was so sunny, and everything reflected off the water.
So it was a treat when I downloaded the pictures and found they turned out so well, from such a distance!

Then I took pictures of the two church towers that are inland in Canada. I never noticed the different crosses, as they're so far away!
I caught this picture of a seagull on top on one of the lights. And then, what I'd been waiting for! A tall ship from Germany! Wait a minute...the sails weren't up, and it looked no different than any other big sail boat as far as I'm concerned, oh well, I can chalk that up to what my Dad would say, "Nah I don't want to go, I saw one of those once." Nice picture though,

Our Little Preston!

Our little Preston is growing so fast, at 1 1/2 months, he's just cuter by the day. He's starting to smile a lot, and his eyes are so big!

Aunt Robyn takes a turn with him, after I finally gave her permission. ;)

and Momma Becky just adores her little Bubba Man.

Look at that face!! How can you not want to smother him in kisses!

I could hold this child all day. He's my little sunshine guy!

A Mosaic Monday

I decided to do a Mosaic Monday today, hope you enjoy some of the pictures I took over the last 2 days. The moth on the cone flower got sick of me holding a camera to it and finally decided to open its wings for me. I'm having too much fun with this camera, I really need to stop and catch up on the housework! Clicking on the mosaic will give you a better view.
