Gardening with Soule

 While sitting in my yard last week, I heard the familiar drumming of a woodpecker pecking at a tree.  That unmistakable sound always catches my attention.  This time I was lucky enough to be able to grab my camera and get a few shots.Â
 They were pretty high up in my neighbor’s tree, so they aren’t as [...]

 Meet Riley, she is a terrier mix (half irish terrier and half fox terrier)puppy that friends of ours adopted recently.Â
 She is cuddled up with one of their other dogs, Blue who is a border collie mix.  I am not sure how Blue feels about this sleeping arrangement, but Riley looks snug as a bug in [...]

A few weeks ago, I saw these ducks near the river.Â
They were comical to watch.  They seemed a bit curious about me, but cautious.Â
Â
They stayed long enough to thrill me with a few quick shots and figured out I wasn’t feeding them, so  they were off, back to float on the river, far away from me.

There is no denying that.
But sometimes,

   For Camera Critters I thought I would show critters from the show.  The theme was “Around the World.”  This was part of India’s display which also makes it fit the subject “Foriegn” for Photohunter.  Amazing what creativity people have.  All of the exhibitions were beautiful scenery to gaze at.  Just gorgeous.Â

Here’s something you don’t see every day, at least not in the north east.Â
My cousin was out in california over the holidays and he took these pictures of the elephant seals. (Look like Sea Lions to me.)
 Now there is the kind of animal to be.  Laying on the beach in the sun with all your [...]

 

 One day, a few years back, while my son, Cam and my nephew, Michael were painting our neighbor’s house, this little guy appeared and followed Michael everywhere.  After several days of this, Mike brought him home since this cute little guy had chosen him.Â
 To his disbelief his parents were good with it even though they never thought they [...]

    I think you may be…..
They look like spots.Â
And if you aren’t sure,
Â
You should be.
Â
Â
Â
Â
 Because…

 they are spots. Â

The picture at the top is of my Aunt a long time ago.  I think she is sporting the height of outdoor fashion.  That’s her daughter in the car with the silly spotted shorts.  That photo always gives me a laugh.  [...]

 I wanted to take some photos of an old oak mirror I was going to sell on Ebay so I brought it onto our deck, in the sunlight.  My dog, Thunder was mesmerized by it.Â
I am not sure what he was thinking but I think he liked what he saw.

Can you blame him?
