A Scene From Our Backyard Pond. The bird has this yellow jacket in it's sites as the Chickadee is looking on.

Smile Big For The Camera. This is a red dragonfly that comes to our backyard pond. He was paying attention to what I was doing, looking straight at me in this shot.

Water Skipper found in a pond here in Oregon.

As I was sitting in my spot watching the birds,butterflies,bees just enjoying the nice weather we have here in the high desert of Oregon I looked over to one of our ponds and seen the swimming young frogs wanting their piece of bread. Well, I can not just feed them one day and not the other right?

A Little Incite In The Life Of A Bumblebee. I found this bumblebee first on one of the sunflowers. It just was not moving the way many of the bees I photograph move. So I touch the little guy and found out he was just to cold. So, instead of picking him up with my bare hands I took one of the leaf stalks the mastiffs chewed on and moved this bumblebee over to the pond, and the nice warm rocks that had been warmed by the sun. Within no time this big bumblebee was buzzing and soon took off. These are the photographs of that experience.

Red Winged Black Bird Stopped By. Actually our place has been a hot spot lately with the sunflower seeds ripe and the pond to drink from. The small apples are even ripe for the picking.

Sunday I headed to our ponds to see what was going on. One of the boys was going after something, I thought it was the frogs and I do not like them going after the frogs. Much to my surprise it was not a frog the dog was going after, but this baby starling.
