The dahlias are blooming and this is what I found in our flower garden today.

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.

Season For Inky Cap Mushrooms . Found more inky cap mushrooms. This time I did not want to touch them, getting the "ink" all over me haha!

Black Cat Crosses My Path.

Mare Horse. We were checking fence line and the pasture and she just had to follow us around.

railroad tracks cascade mountains Oregon. This was truly way up in the cascades. We took this road and that one and here we were with a drop off. Turning around was entertaining!

Cascade Mountains Culvert. Usually these culverts are super ugly! We need them so the roads do not flood and get washed away. I like this barrel culvert, what a great idea!

Central Oregon View

The Patriotic Rose Bud . This is one of those spontaneous photographs that just happen to come out in a neat fashion. Red White and Blue.

Two Headed Best? ;0) Going through my new photographs from yesterday, came upon this one. The eyes can be deceiving. The next photographs shows clearly what is going on.

Too cute!

Butterfly eating on a zinnia flower

Mule Deer Doe Jumping and Running. We see many mule deer here. This mule deer doe kept my attention on her so the others could take off running. When they were out of site she took off running and jumping too!

Photo speaks for itself.

Life in the high desert.

I ran across this lizard as he/she was sitting on top of a fence post sunning itself. At first this lizard ran!! But ironically enough stopped, and just looked at me for the longest time!

Sparrow Birds Working For Their Meal . I admit, it is ridiculous the money we spend on the wildlife here. The gardens and such to attract the wildlife so I can photograph them. I justify this expense as entertainment, for really Guy and I can sit for hours just talking and watching all the wildlife we work so hard to attract to our place. We stopped in at the Madras Livestock Auction where they opened up a feed store. We need bird seed in big time bulk. The sparrows are the main birds we feed here, but without the sparrows the other birds would not be attracted. As soon as we walked into the feed store we saw this seedblock. We thought this would slow down the birds a little, making them work for their meal. It has, and offered me a great photography opportunity! We are more than happy to try out such products if, and I mean if, it is cost affective!
