don't know what this bush and flower are but i sure like them. apparently the insects do too. i saw at least five different types counting this gal. i've been hearing that the bees are dying/disappearing and i can believe it as this is the first honeybee i've seen this year tho i've seen many types of wasp and bumbles. i thought it cool how bright yellow and bulging the pollen she's carrying is. i don't have macro and was too lazy to carry my tripod, even tho i got a fine new shoulder case for it from my fam, so this is just my 18-55mm zoom hand-held. you who know flowers and plants, who have time and inclination, do you know what this is

This is a first for me. My first wild owl.  When I saw this bird, it was flying off in the distance with a smaller bird harassing it.  I thought it might be a Red Tailed Hawk.  I made my way over to where it had landed in a tree, and as I got closer, I realized it was a big owl.  I'm pretty sure it's a Great Horned Owl.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

I was playing around a little yesterday and thought of this scripture when I was done.

Swinging Bridge at Tishomingo, Built in 1939 - 

I shot this same bridge about a year ago, and have always liked the pic, but was never really satisfied with it...I'm happier now-

edit: the other shot.

this lovely gent just insisted on having his picture taken. i was across the street looking for an angle on the armory building and he flew right up by me and started his 'chip'. he led me across the street and then flew up and posed in a lovely planter of flowers. i had my 18-55mm lens on tho so didn't shoot as it was too far but did find some things of interest right by me to shoot. i heard him start a steady 'chip' and looked up he was only about 8 feet away. i took a couple and, as he seemed to be enjoying it rather than nervous, decided to switch on my 85-200mm. he waited patiently while i did this and posed prettily for a couple more. since he didn't fly away or even appear nervous i reset and bracketed as the lens isn't made for my camera and can only be used manually and the light was tricky. he waited til i gotten two or three bracketed shots then flew off. lucky for me he was such a ham as this was the very last shot and the best by far of the lot. its almost as if he knew i'd gotten it right finally so he could go on his way. a very entertaining seven or eight minutes, as you can no doubt tell by my long-windedness
