Amber-winged spreadwing
What do you see? π₯
So far Iβve heard a mother and child, lovers, and two friends dancing. This one was taken NYE in our fireplace.
So many birds....π¦
This weekend we had so many birds in the backyard, I was certain Snow White was going to make an appearance! :) They loved to fight over the food, which is what these two were doing.
Did you know this insect can carry 50 times its own bodyweight? ποΈββοΈ
Typical Saturday Morning π
Composite of 3 images from their little bird bath party this morning.
Ranch Life is so Hard...π€
Ice, Ice Baby π§
I donβt get to do frozen droplet pics often! Central Texas had snow and ice Sunday and Monday - I am so happy this doesnβt last long and it will back to the mid 60s by today. :) This droplet is about the size of a small pencil eraser - it was so perfectly still that I was able to get this shot (handheld!)
Raindrops π§
After a rain storm today - macro shot on the back car window.
Happy New Year! π₯
I decided instead of my top nine this year, I would post some images that will remind me of this crazy year! It starts off with the first pic I took of the year, then writing on the window during the beginning of the quarantine, Gracie modeling the new βclassroomβ, a bird rescue, my daughter and friends graduating high school and how they had to adapt to this craziness (and they did a wonderful job of it!) , my neighbors got chickens and a cat (and we lost our dog), crazy storms that did major damage to our neighborhood, lots of lots of bird and nature watching, and the last pic I took this year. That pretty much sums it up. I hope everyone has a wonderful 2021! β€
Yin & Yang β―
I miss my hummingbirds!
Did you know that this insect has five eyes? π
Yep, the honey bee has five eyes! Something I did not know!
Ok, last one of the spotted cucumber beetle, I promise π
Bradford Pear Leaves π
Itβs that time of year! I love the patters you can find. I did a few variations of a favorite leaf I found. Do you have a favorite?

Sunset π
I typically donβt see bees around sunset, but this one had to get dessert before heading off to bed π
20,000 Teeth π
Did you know that some species of snails can have up to 20,000 teeth (more than any other animal). Wow!
Spotted Cucumber Beetle π
Beautiful Sunday Morning π

Weller π₯
Meet Weller (yes, like the Bourbon) - a miniature horse that just didnβt like having his picture taken π
