Thug got a little boo boo on his upper lip. He was standing a little too close to the car door when I opened it. He didn't care, I almost cried.

It's time to pick peppers. To be honest, I don't really like to eat the peppers, but I absolutely love to grow them.

I am still trying to get a shot where you can see the hummingbird wings. This is better, but not perfect. I set the f stop at 5.6 and shutter speed at 1/25.

Something about dragonflies intrigues me. I've never seen one with wings quite like this.

I wish I could learn how to take hummingbird pictures where you see their wings.

It amazes me how three people can dirty up so many dishes. If anyone has figured out a way to keep them all clean and out of the sink, please let me know.

Donald and I went out to the lake by the dam today. By the water we saw this bobber hanging from the tree.

This bug showed up on our deck door today. I imagine it would be well camouflaged in a tree. Not so much on the door.

There is a lake behind the rehab facility where Mrs. Bryan is currently living. Donald and I walked out there to see what we could see. The turtles are so tame, they came right up to us. I'm sure they were looking for food.

This may be one of my favorite pictures so far this year. I really like the purple against all the green, and add to that the bee gathering pollen and nectar. This bush was literally swarming with bees! It was fun to watch them fly from one flower to another.

I tried to get a different perspective on the hummingbirds tonight. I sat on the steps below the feeder. It took them a while, but they figured out I wasn't there to hurt them.

Poor Thug stepped on something outside during our 4th of July celebration. He was being very protective of both front paws, as you can see here. He's sitting with Nic, our nephew.
