Saturday Photo Hunt : LOOKING DOWN


Wishing I was down there, instead of working in all this heat!
Looking down the stairwell at work.

I absolutely love my neighbors patio,.... Love all the flowers.

Saturday Photo Hunt : CLUTTERED


This first photo is of a Cicada emerging from it's shell after being dormant for 13-17 years. The photos below are of what they look like. They are everywhere, it's like a Cicada circus. So my take on cluttered is that they move in confusion and make the loudest clatter continuously. There are millions of them out right now, empty shells everywhere. The males make a high pitch shrill sound constantly. The life span of an adult cicada is short. As mysteriously as they arrive, they will disappear. Most will be eaten by birds and other predators. They do not bite, just very annoying. The adult size is up to 2 inches long. They make great bait for fishing, if you're fishing for carp.

Saturday Photo Hunt : Card(s)




This is my all time favorite photo of one of my granddaughters and have ordered a set of playing cards for her as a keepsake.

Saturday Photo Hunt : INFORMATIVE





This sign says it all. Enter at your own risk !

Saturday Photo Hunt : DIRTY


When it rains, the mudslide off the rocks sure makes a dirty mess.


These little ducklings sure got dirty. Good thing they could wash back off in the lake. Just something about a mommy duck and her babies.

Saturday Photo Hunt : MALE


This is a male wax figure that was standing in a reception hall at a wedding a few years back. What a piece of art!

Saturday Photo Hunt : HARD TO FIND



Hard to find the perfect rainbow. Taken near Billings, Montana a few months ago.

You take hundreds of photos all the time, and the perfect shot is hard to find. I found this one at Ceasars Creek Lake in September while camping.

Saturday Photo Hunt : JUICY




Juicy little wieners cooked over the campfire while camping last month. Much juicier cooked in BBQ sauce too.

Saturday PhotoHunt : ALIVE




This is a bug I found a couple years ago and did some research on it. They are called "Wheelbugs", also known as an assassin bug. They’re called wheelbugs because of the raised toothed ridge on the back. They’re conenoses (bedbugs are in the conenose group) and have a formidable stabbing proboscis which can stab you if you provoke them (and they are testy). They inflict extremely painful bites. Scary to know these kinds of bugs are ALIVE and living amongst us.
