Red-winged Blackbird

I saw this Red-winged Blackbird in a "marshy" area at the
Izaak Walton Park in Christiansburg, Virginia

I like the way his tail fans out in this one :)

Squirrel Portraits

These little guys really seem to like to pose for me!

Saturday

Saturday Dragons......Sort of

Well, not actually a dragon, but my first dragonfly

of 2008!

I think that means Spring is really here!!

He looks metallic green with light blue on his tail.

This is the same shot as above, I just rotated it to the right so you

could seem him horizontally. He actually landed vertically, as the

first shot shows. I was so excited that these shots turned out.

This guy was really TINY!
(click on the last pic to enlarge....it really makes a difference)

Happy Saturday Everyone!

PS - If anyone can identify this guy, please leave a comment! It would

be VERY much appreciated!!

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.

Wednesday

One year ago today, the campus of Virginia Tech and
our small town of Blacksburg, Virginia was turned upside down.
Take time today to remember all of those that were lost....
and don't forget to say "I love you" to those special people in your lives.

A Glimpse Into Their Life

A cozy couple!

Mr Red trying to hide from my camera :)

This guy looks like he wants to play :)

Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.

There is Just Something About Yellow

Dandelion or Colt's Foot.....I always get them confused :)

Sun on a Hazy August Evening 2007.

There is JUST something about Yellow that puts me in a Good Mood!

Saturday

Bird on a Bush

I am unsure of what type of bird this is .... maybe a type of flycatcher. Seen near a wetlands area and pond. This was taken in the spring, as you can tell from the blossoms on the tree. I am not sure what type of tree that is either.
