Now that it’s August, my
thoughts are turning to fall. Too bad the weather isn’t – ha!

We met
some friends for brunch. It’s so much fun to meet fellow bloggers!

Saw this on my way home from
church. Doesn’t she look yummy? Heh.
Dr. M fixed a sandwich with our
giant tomato – wow!

The State of the Bug – TGIF! P.S. Um, ladies, I color my
hair, so the gray from last week was pretty alarming since it’s apparently
color resistant. Or maybe I just need to color again.

It’s sparrow-palooza around here!
We call this Sparrow Springs - they like to drink from the air conditioner
condensation.
See – Sparrow-Palooza. Scary!
Hummingbird!

Geese on the move.
Cows. I love how they stare balefully
at Dr. M while he takes their picture. Ha!
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
A great week! So happy you all got to meet up with Anne and Ken! :c)
ReplyDeleteThose cows are not to be trifled with. Sleep lightly, and with one eye open, if possible. I suggest doing so in shifts. Above all, no beef or dairy for at least a month. They know.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for putting the B-52s in my head ... There's a moon in the sky! It's called the moon! (not sarcastic ... I love that song.)
I was watching a hummingbird at our trumpet vine this morning. To get to "the good stuff" he had half his body inside the flowers!
ReplyDeleteThose cows are staring at you like you're holding a stun gun instead of a camera.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the full moon earlier this week and immediately thought of you.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing, by the way.
People sometimes tell me they saw some really yummy chocolate and thought of me. The first time someone told me this, I knew my mission in life was complete.
I love the cow pictures. Now you have me wanting to take some, too.
Oh how I wish I could fast forward a couple of months! It will be AT LEAST that long until things begin to cool off here.
ReplyDeleteS
love the moon pictures!
ReplyDeleteSparrow-palooza! Ha! That's a little Hitchcockian, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWere you deliberately alluding to the B-52s song "There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)"? That's what popped into my head...
Beautiful shots, as always!
ReplyDeleteEvery year when I see people's abundance of tomatoes that they can pick right from their own garden, I think, NEXT year is the year I am going to plant a few things. And then...it doesn't make the priority list. But I'm still jealous. :)
I have been trying to catch a glimpse of some baby birds under our deck but I think they have already flown off. :(
ReplyDeleteOur tomatoes are done..completely burned up now. so sad!
The tomato looked very tasty. Loved all the bird shots this week, especially the hummingbird. I look so forward to seeing what you have to offer up each week. Makes me want to get outside and hunt for these things....but then I step outside and it feels like it is 100 degrees....and i go back inside to work. Maybe in the fall.
ReplyDeleteStill so envious of your tomatoes! Ours refuse to ripen, now. I think I'm giving up next year. (Lisa, you can have my turn!)
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about The Professor's effect on cows. Has he tried talking pleasantly to them before he takes their picture? It always works for me. Many times they come right up to the fence for a visit.
I absolutely have the B-52s in my head every time I see the moon :)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't really been leaving most of the tomatoes on the vine long enough to ripen - afraid of squirreliness. But we've left a few to see if they'll actually ripen this year.
Great bird pictures this week!
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying the last of our tomatoes here too!
Blessings

It's been awhile since I've visited, I'm sorry to say. Loved seeing all your pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe sparrows might give me nightmares; that's a LOT of birds at one time in your yard.
the bird shots this week were great and the big moon in the daytime is a fab shot
ReplyDeleteI really like the one where the fence is reflected in the cement pond. Very cool! But the Wednesday moon shot is also very "moody" and interesting.
ReplyDeleteCan I have one of those sandwiches? Yum!
I quit coloring my hair. Fortunately I have light, ash blonde hair so the gray looks like highlights. Except for those springy ones with weird bends and crooks that stick out. Those remind me of going to a science museum and touching the ball that gives you instant static. Ahhhh, the joys of growing older :)
