Football Berries
We were at a church softball game last night and as always I was looking for photo ops. I was looking up into a crab apple tree and was going to take a macro shot of a crab apple and I noticed something very odd... I zoomed in on what I that was an odd looking crab apple and this is what I saw...

Parking
Is it me, or shouldn't the car be pointed in the same direction as the arrow?

Fat Cat
There are 2 cats, a dog, and several birds at my mother's nursing home. It is apparent that at least one of the cats is getting a few "exra" snacks. I don't know if the cat and the bird are friends and are just visiting, or if the cat is contemplating lunch... I suspect lunch.

Birthday Girl
My Mother celebrated her 94th birthday. She is in a nursing home and is "pleasantly confused" . She always recognizes my wife and almost always thinks I'm her brother. Once reminded, however, she seems to recognize that I am her son. She got that one candle out and my sister had to help with the rest.

Flower Photograph
While I was visiting my friend's flower garden in Cedar Falls I took a lot of photos. I like the perspective on this one..

Euphoria
Big Step... I stopped by a friends house last night to take some pictures in his flower garden (quite a site) and while I was shooting noticed this yellow jacket collecting pollen.
Busy, busy... He was quite busy and intent on his task.
Ahhhhh... After he licked (do they lick?) the nectar from the pestal, he just rolled over on his back as if he was on a "necar high".

Unique Candle
We went out to eat yesterday (yes, I had my camera) - and this candle was on the table. It looks like a stack of glass ash trays with a candle in the middle - m-m-m-m-m I wonder if that is the design the artist was intending?

Red Flower
Moments after I took this photograph a red humming bird flew up to the flower - and as soon as I raised my camera he (or she) took off. He's probably been talking to the eagles and is taunting me... (note previous post).

Eagle
Frequent visitors to my Blog know that I have been trying to take a photo of an Eagle. Every time I see one they are out of range and every time I don't have a camera I see them - it's as if they are taunting me. We visited Calkins Nature Area in Iowa Falls and there was a stuffed Eagle on display. I couldn't help myself - so I took a photograph. I'm still chasing a live one, but in the mean time here's an Eagle.
