Coming In For a Landing...

Coming In For a Landing..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I saw the bee on the bloom and wanted to get a photo of it. I was not able to get he camera in place fast enough so i was able to get him trying to land on another bloom on the plant.

I woke up this morning and look what i saw. I was amazed to find this Lilly blooming in my yard. We had a little rain yesterday, but not much. I guess what we did get made this bloom. I have a rose bush that is back in bloom as well. I wonder if all the dry weather has something to do with the blooms this summer.

The Blog...

Over the next week i will be in transition to a new location. I will have several photos posted till the 9th of July and then my Co-Author, Jimmy Freeman, will be taking the blog over for a few days till i get settled. I will be able to post photos from my LGVX8600 Cam Phone but no big posts or photos from Flickr till i get settled and have internet service. So from July 9 till July 14, i will not be posting any big photos.

See you soon!

This spider lives by our front door. I watched him last night repairing his web. I took a series of photos and then i decided to crop this one. I used a flash on this photo as it was near dark when i took the original photo.

I took all of these with my new lens. I was trying different settings on the lens and i also used a UV Filter on it as well. I used the zoom feature on the new lens to get this photo. I love the bright light catching her fur and her eyes with all of the gray around them. The brown floor and her shadow were caught well by the new lens. I also used a UV filter on this photo as well. Her paw by her face looks like she was about to clean herself.

July 3

Today I turned 37! I had a very nice birthday party at work and then me and my wife went to Busch Gardens and rode roller coaster and watched a spectacular fireworks show that lasted for 10 minutes! I was very impressed!

Tomorrow for the 4^th of July, we are going to Washington DC to watch the fireworks in the Nation’s Capital! They will be shot behind the Washington Monument! I will be bringing my camera and will be taking lots of photos!!

Have a happy July 4!
