Spring Wildflowers...2008 Revisited

Since I'm not seeing many wildflowers this year due to the drought...I'm posting some more of the hundreds of photos I took last spring. Enjoy!

I've Been Tagged

Erica has tagged me on her blog. In turn I have to post the 4th photo from the 4th folder in my computer and tag other bloggers to do the same.

Here's my photo:








Now to pass on the fun, I'm tagging Lisa, Thien, Dan, Sherri K, Mrs. Hays, and Scott Bulger.



Go visit them and see what they post.

More Meandering in the Backyard

These are more of the photos I took in the backyard yesterday. Soon I'll go see what's blooming a little farther than the backyard. My mother in law has given me some places she's seen some flowers in bloom and I'll have to stop and check those out soon too. It looks like I have about a week break from painting projects (except for the boulder I need to paint for a prop for the church's Easter musical). Hopefully during that time I can get busy with some photography.

And this is what Missy was doing the entire time I was in the backyard with my camera lens stuck in the flowers. She begged me to come play with her and her stick.

Can I Say the "S" Word???

No, not THAT word! The word to which I'm referring is SPRING!!!! Is it Spring yet? Because it sure looks like it around here!!! See for yourself what my backyard looks like today. It's a gorgeous sunny day and 81 degrees! South Texas in the Spring goes a long way toward making up for the lack of fall colors I miss in Missouri.

I counted at least 5 bugs on this plant at the same time! A bee, a butterfly, a red lady bug, a yellow lady bug and a teeny black spider (I did not photograph the spider!)

Where's Your Camera?

Our friend Larry brought me a newspaper article tonight he thought I'd enjoy. He's right, I did. The article is from "The San Antonio Express News" and is Forrest M. Mimms III's article titled, "Digital camera is perfect for capturing nature shots." One statement in the article really caught my attention:

"So please join me in carrying a digital camera everywhere you go so those of us who have been doing so for years will look a bit more normal."

Oh how I can relate to that statement! On the occasions I do not have my camera in hand I've been asked such things as, "Where's your camera? I thought it was permantly attached?" So, those of you who tease those of us with permanantly attached cameras...grab your camera and hop on board! You know you want to and will be glad you did!
