I absolutely will! Thinks have gotten a little hectic on my end, especially with a new semester, but I promise I have I have not forgotten these photos!

Yes, and I couldn’t find it or pieces of it anywhere nearby. There’s the tiniest bit of it still stuck to the wall to show that it was indeed once there.

A trio of paper wasps building a nest on stone, underneath an overhang. Above them is a window. One of them is alerting to my presence (wings raised) as I had to get fairly close to them to get this photo. When we returned from vacation, these wasps and the little nest they had been building were nowhere to be found. I believe this to be a “Guinea Paper Wasp” scientifically known as “Polistes exclamans”.

When we left for vacation, these paper wasps were building a nest underneath one of our windows. When we returned they were nowhere to be found.

I did! And I’ve pressed a red button before! 🥹😂

That’s like asking people not to touch the red button! 😉

A skipper butterfly feeds from a blazing star. A little beetle friend is also hidden in the blazing star.

Happy World Photography Day!

Funny enough, I was just there this month, and I do wish my clouds were as dramatic as this!

Nice shot!

I LOVE those clouds!

Swirls of white, blue, green and black reflect in the water, creating a beautiful abstract photo. If you look carefully you can make out “school” reflected backwards as this was taken in a canal by a business school in Amsterdam. Thank you for 200 followers!

Here is another water reflection photo while I continue organizing my vacation photos.

I hope seeing my photos brings as much joy to you as seeing your photos brings to me. :)

Swirls of gray, blue and black color the water, cause by reflections of things above the surface.

Swirls of color paint the surface of a river. The color comes from reflections on the water.

While on a river cruise, I’ve decided to experiment with water reflections, and have captured some pretty unique and beautiful patterns.

The CIA (Culinary Institute of America) had some beautiful chandeliers throughout. I wish I had gotten to see more of them.

That is a very ROUND puffin 😆

Wow I’ve never seen a bee so covered in pollen! Beautiful!

If someone doesn’t like hummingbirds, let me know now so I can block you 😂

Two cygnets captured within a group of seven. They are resting on the ground and sleeping on top of each other.

Just in case you are in need of a cygnet or two. I never tire of them!

Surrounded by green foliage, a squirrel balances on a branch and nibbles on berries in a tree.

I don’t know what it is about squirrels that makes me so happy, but I hope they make you happy as well. 😄 Also, thank you for every follow, like, share, and interaction, they make my day!

A metallic green six-spotted tiger beetle stands atop a small stone that looks like a boulder compare to this tiny bug.

Who needs aliens when we have insects? Close enough if you ask me. Six-spotted tiger beetle (Cicindela sexguttata)

A praying mantis in various shades of brown, tan and orange stares into the camera, with a tiny bug perched atop its left eye.

While photographing this praying mantis, a tiny little bug landed on its eye. Seconds later it became a delicious snack.

I didn’t see autocorrect get me with steel 🤣 oops!

White strands of spider silk contrast against a green background.

Lighter than cotton, up to 1000 times thinner than human hair, and 5 times stronger than steal by weight, spider silk is truly amazing.

Stunning photo, always appreciate the spooders.

A robin perches on a branch amongst foliage.

I love robins, they’re such cute birds. Did you know they are known to sing at night?

An Eastern Kingbird perches on a wire fence. The background is a mix over green, brown and orange.

Another shot of the Eastern Kingbird. This feisty little bird has the scientific name of “Tyrannus tyrannus” which it lives up to as it will attack birds much larger than itself in defense of its territory. 🪶
