The Great Escape

 Walking the New Ground I found a spider tunnel

bejeweled with dew.

The spider had a guest.

I watched as the grasshopper crawled toward the top

expecting the owner of the web to scramble out to catch its breakfast.

This one got away!

This N That

Piece work patching done and the ancient smokehouse will weather another winter.

Doghouses cobbled together, scraps used, ready for winter.

Dog approved.

A work bench painted in a light color so dropped parts can be seen.

Equipment winterized.

In Aesop's Fables The Ant and the Grasshopper I like to think I am the ant.

Eyes On Me

peeking over

 trying to blend in.

They never know

my camera's on them.

Corn Dog Critters

Corn dog defined my way is meat on a stick.

dog on a stick

Dragonfly on a stick

grasshopper on a stick...

Corn Dogs?

Be

 aware

of how

 we cast

our

shadow.

Remember Summer

It will return.

Can You See It?

I thought I was seeing things.

I thought the tree bark was moving!

My handy dandy camera was just a pocket away

Nature's solutions to survival is amazing.

It's Mine

and you can't have it!

The Things I Saw

Skink

Glade or fence lizard on rock

Box turtle taking time to smell the bitter weeds

Bull Frog by water garden

With someone along for the ride

Five Thousand Square Feet Of Stuff

in this building.

We did some important things today.

We caught grasshoppers,

to feed our spider.

We ate fresh cucumbers,

while keeping an eye on the customers.

We saw the moon and looked for rocks.

We cut some weeds

and sold lots of stuff.

We are happy...

amd just a little tired.
