I really like this thread. There's not much telling what you might see when you look inside this one.

And yes, I did take take this silly pic. It's not some grab off the net.

Monkey Grass in Bloom

September, 2017.

If you look closely, you'll see the bumblebee.

I made this photograph years ago.

Alvin would show up every day and sit in my hand eating his lunch. What he didn't eat, he would stuff in his cheek pouches, then scurry off to put the peanuts in his den, saving them for another day. He often made several trips.

It always amazed me that this little animal would sit in my left hand while my right hand was pointing a big black camera at him from just inches away, and making a loud click each time I'd press the shutter button.

The text is something I remember from somewhere years and years ago, possibly a greeting card. It seems relevant here, so I added it to my photograph.

I am lucky to have a 6 year old granddaughter that LOVES to bake.
She usually comes and spends a day with us once a week.
This week, she decided to make her favorite for me,, chocolate chip cookies.

Grandma ran the Hobart mixer, Anna did the rest!!

OH,,, how I suffer,,,,,,,

Yum! Does she need another grandfather? I think it was Oscar Wilde who said, "I can resist any temptation except temptation, itself." Makes me want to head out for the bakery. Good thing they're closed for the night. You aren't suffering, either...who you think you're foolin'?

I recently took a train trip across the USA and snapped this sunset in California. It made the train look like it was plated with gold. (But, being Amtrak, we know that's not the case!)

The most curious and friendly fawn I ever encountered. Mom and a sibling passed through my front yard at least twice a day. This one was intrigued by me, and it really upset mom.

A classic tiller truck!

And,, the funny part is,,, I am in Virginia,
her OTHER grandfather is in South Carolina,,,

They probably drive past your house when visiting SC!!

Probably not,, but kinda!!

Besides cookies,, Anna is a bread machine GURU!!
I have to stay away from their house when the bread is coming out of the machine,,,

Mt. St Helens Spirit Lake

Here's Spirit lake with the deadfall from the eruption still floating in the lake. It's the mass in the upper left arm of the lake.

Where the logs are in the lake depends on which way the wind blows.

That's amazing.

That's great. I've never seen one like that. Wish you had some close up shots.

Among my many hobbies are collecting Franklin and Danbury Mint cars. I made some props to take pictures of them, using pictures from calendars as back drops. Here's a few:

A very gravid female praying mantis on a weed head near my farm house. I don't cut or pull the weeds in the flower beds or the hedgerows in the fall, since mantis and other critters rely on the cover to lay egg cases, for food, etc.

I have really noticed lots of mantis this year. I love to watch them.
