Summer, please restart yourself.  ~unknown

I suppose summer is officially considered done come Monday, even though [calendar-wise] there are three weeks left until fall. I have no idea where it went, only that it always goes by way too fast.  Happy TGIF, everyone!  Enjoy this Labor Day weekend.

Random macro photos of an alien looking pod, a lightning bug and a bee which I did not use my macro lens on because I figured he’d get really mad at me if I got closer to him than this.

Day Two Hundred Fifty Three 2011
























During half time in the Tennessee/Cincinnati game, I wandered around the house, shooting some pictures using my little macro lens--just random stuff because it's fun, although the bees on the flowers weren't too happy with my camera an inch from their flying crawling bodies. And I didn't even know that spider was there until he suddenly popped into focus (I was trying to take a picture of the colorful leaf behind him). The top picture is one of the blooms on my pumpkin vine, so maybe I'll have a pumpkin or two before too long. Can you guess what the bottom two pictures are? OK I'll tell you--marbles in an old jar. It was a beautiful Saturday, much too nice to be cooped up indoors watching football, but the game was pretty exciting and I'm happy to say that Tennessee won (45-23). Not too shabby. Now that's good stuff.

Day One Hundred Ninety Four 2011





The Lantana is attracting butterflies (as advertised) and the bees seem to love it, too. The last picture is a little pink Dahlia blooming in the back yard. I love these (this one didn't want to show its pretty face), but they aren't doing too well this summer. Hubby Neil says you have to dig them up and separate the bulbs. I think that might be a job for the gardener in the family (Neil? Hello?).

Day One Hundred Eighty Two 2011


Bumble bee found a nice hiding place in this pink dahlia. I think he must have been asleep because he didn't mind my taking his picture.

Day Two Hundred Eighty Three

Happy (Random) Saturday!


The University of Tennessee Volunteers beat the Georgia Bulldogs 45 to 19! Crompton looked like a quarterback today. UT fans hope this is a trend and not a fluke. Go VOLS!! I took this picture Friday of Elijah man checking out the orange and white Tennessee flag that hangs in our back yard.

Eddie kitty wore his UT Vols colors today.

This huge bee let me take his picture. He was holding on to the patio table umbrella and didn't seem to mind me getting up close and personal. He had these gnarly furry legs that looked more like a spider than a bee. I think he was in shock from the 56 degree temperature this afternoon. Even the bee had on some orange!

Neil has been busy the last couple of days repairing the dining room wall around the door we had installed in July. The installers totally destroyed the wall because they were forced to re route an electrical wire that ran underneath the window that use to be there. Neil is having to install all new Sheetrock to fix the mess they made. The fun never stops.
