There have been a couple blue jays that have been visiting our back yard feeder lately along with all the cardinals, mourning doves, nuthatches, and chickadees. I haven't been able to capture both blue jays together yet nor do I think I ever will, but I have been able to catch one or the other at various times.

Project 52 - Week 1
Since I was a day late posting my Scavenger Hunt photos, it only stands to reason that I should be a day late posting my Project 52 pictures, right? It is a good thing that I didn't make a New Year's resolution regarding punctuality. :)
Last week we enjoyed the last few days of Christmas break (although, in all honesty, I was counting the days until school started back up). We enjoyed all that snow that we got the day after Christmas, which actually stuck around a while. We brought in the new year relaxing in our living room in our jammies. I enjoyed my new-found freedom from NOT having to produce a photo a day. And I enjoyed sending the kids back to school. In fact, I'm still enjoying both of those. :)
Just an icicle hanging from the front of our house ... in the morning sun. Taken through the window while I stood in the warmth of our living room. :)
The boys, the dog, and I went for a hike through our neighbor's woods. I was searching for some beauty in the midst of all this winter stuff. These weeds aren't exactly beautiful, but they are something. :)
The usually-elusive Nick laid (lay? lie?) down in the snow just long enough for me to grab a quick photo.
Alex, who has also been refusing pictures lately, asked me to take his picture while he sat in our neighbor's tractor wheel. How could I say no?

Photo of the Day: August 2
ISO 800, f/8, 1/500s, 55-200mm lens
While supper was grilling this evening, I took some time to wander around my yard to see what I could find. The clouds were covering the sun a little so it wasn't so stinkin' hot, which made it a bit more bearable to be outside. Here's what I found ...
My butterfly bushes that I bought earlier this year are blooming a little, which I totally did not expect to happen. That makes me so happy!
My hibiscus flowers are beginning to bloom. And I got to witness a bee completely covered in their pollen. He looked so cool! That also makes me happy! Although him still being there once I went inside to get my camera and returned would have made me happier. :)
We have a couple watermelons and a cantaloupe getting bigger in the garden. Yum!
And we have lots and lots of sunflowers blooming ... which means lots and lots of bees busy doing their jobs ... which means lots and lots of photo opportunities for me. And that truly makes me happy. :)
