Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I have been really enjoying the Summer weather. We took a vacation to Ashland. I saw two life birds, an Acorn Woodpecker and a Western Kingbird!
I have a whole bunch of cool pictures to share from the summer.
A house finch enjoying some sunflower.
A silhouetted song sparrow.
Picturesque grass.
A female Mallard quacking at me.
We saw this strange bee group. Any ideas why they are on the ground like this? Please let me know!

This is a near perfect shot! A rainbow going around the sun in a perfect circle! I forget what you call this.
A big worm!

Wow, great photos! You are getting really good with your camera. We went to Ashland last summer and found a nature park there that we really liked. I can't remember the name, but it's probably on my blog somewhere. We saw Acorn WP's there too. They are not easy to photograph and your photo is great! I like the flower photos too...quite artsy!
I see you've been busy with the camera ! Some great shots. By the way the bees are a group that have split from the main hive, and are in the process of finding a new home.
This time of year, I have lapses in my blogging too; but I think it's healthy to get out there and play! Experience wet grass and dirt and bugs and stuff! LOL
I love the grasses I let grow at the edges, too. Several different kinds grow, even as high as the nose on my face (and I'm 5'8"!). Aren't they cool?
Love the day-lily photo... Good job!!!
Oh...and while I've never seen an acorn woodpecker, I've got lots of Black-headed grosbeaks, too. Love 'em...
Nice photos...I lived near Ashland for 16 years, boy do I miss a couple of fabulous restaurants there...nice bird captures!
