Not enough time


 After being MIA for approximately three weeks, Sweet Pea came for a little visit today.


I honestly felt like she was as glad to see me as I was her.  She has lost some weight.  She did not seem to feel bad though.  I am hoping she starts the regular visiting again because she is a bright spot in our day.

***************
I think this will be my last post here for a while.  Hopefully, I will be able to return to it soon but right now it is just too much.

More from the swamp area


 Another close up...of some kind of sedge I believe. It has only been a couple of weeks and I am ready to go back and see what else is showing now.

Blooming now


The milkweeds were beginning to bloom at the swamp area last Saturday.

From a distance


 They were far enough away till I did not know they were turtles till I zoomed in.

After the bloom


 Remember what I said about the wind in a previous post?  Every time I tried to photograph this, the wind would start.  I am luck to have got this at all.

Thistle


 I love the flower, but look at all the prickly things on the stem.

A favorite subject


 Any time I get the chance, I photograph thistle.  As usual around here, it was hard to get a shot because of the wind.  And it is not something one can reach  out and hold steady.

First dragonfly session of the year


 Roger asked if I was wanting to go somewhere...I jumped at the chance to be out for a bit.  So headed to what I call the swamp area.  Even though I did not see a much wildlife, it was soothing to my soul.  There were lots of these dragonflies.  For the longest time, they were continually on the move.  As I stayed there, there were a few that started to cooperate.

Painted Lady


 I am resorting to the archives part of the time...this one is from 2008.

From my yard


 I have been seeing a House Finch off and on.  I do not know if it is just one single one that comes, or if there are more.  But I only ever see one at a time

From my son-in-law


 Our son-in-law sent me these yesterday.  For all you birders, what kind of hawk is it.


It is banded but I cannot see all that it says.


It was on scaffolding where he works.

Out to pasture


 I bet cattle and animals in general are glad to see spring and summer come.

I miss the day....


 I so miss being able to go out to the strip mining area and see these Short-eared owls in the fall.  I think it has been 10 yrs. since I last saw one.

Lucky shot


 The lucky part of this shot is the background...almost as if a spotlight on the bird.

Mourning dove


 I took three or four photos of this dove and they all have this weird look...do you see what I mean?   They were taken in the middle of the day.

Another Dickcissel


 I cannot resist trying to photograph one when I am given the opportunity.  Before the land was being farmed at the strip mining area one was always in sight and within hearing of one.  Now they are not quite so numerous.

Chicken


 Chickens are one of my favorite things to photograph...

I wish


I wish two things in regards to frogs:  I would love to be able to capture one sitting on a lily pad.  I am always too slow getting my camera up.  And second, I would love to capture one when it is croaking.  

I am hearing the tree frogs here at home, but have not spotted one yet.

This year's first butterfly photo


 This is not the first butterfly I have seen, it s just the first photo I have taken.  And this is a cropped photo.

Robin

 


Every time I have a few to sit outside, I watch the robins...they are busy as can be right now.

??????


 I spotted this insect on the top of the grill.  I looked trough my lense from about 4 ft away....then I got up and stood right on top of it almost.  I took this and was trying to get a better view of it but it flew!  I think it is wild loking.  Not sure what it is...but I really think it is a mosquito.


Edited :  Sandra and others  identified this as a type of fly. A  delphina picta fly.  Also called a picture wing fly.
