A new day to explore the garden

Do I see strawberries?

Someone else is looking for food

but watch out!

Hemmingford, Quebec. - Will the plexiglass hold the weight of the beast?

I thought yellow was perfectly fine!

in my neighbor's yard

I order to get a good foundation for the flower, I stuck a needle through a piece of folded paper. Then I stuck the needle through the stem. If you look closely, you'll see that the stem is a bit thicker just below the leafes.

that's a long way up there

She sees such a beautiful sky...or is that a fish, she wriggles nervously in the hands of her captor...

Makes the mistake...of looking up...

at the front of the race...he held the gun...on your mark...get set...go! Who will win the race the burly slug or the mighty snail? Don't stand in their way!

My landlady sure has beautiful poppies in her garden, said the worm.

The worm is mesmerized by these flowers.

cathartes aura not in the backyard but close to home. No, this shot is not cropped. I was THAT close to them

If not harvested for eating and let to go to bloom, the artichoke can be a thing of beauty

If a mother robin were here with a worm, this would be the worm's last view.

Metrioptera roeselii - a small katydid found in grassy fields. This is what a person might see if they got down low and looked at some lower leaves of a plant.

Sometimes a worm's eye view can be quite nice.

Lying down in the grass to take this shot was not easy on this old gal..LOL

IF I WERE A WORM I WOULD BE AFRAID THAT I WOULD DROWN IF THAT RAINDROP FELL ON ME.

No wonder the worm goes for the tomato... it looks so fresh and appetizing! Photo taken 6-14-09.

The river Maas and the bridges from the opposite side of the bridges in the first shot. The bridge in the foreground this time is the road bridge. Even with the new bridge of the A2 (main highway) close by this is still an important road - I take it whenever the A2 is clogged up in rush hour traffic. Oh yes: I DID get very wet after taking this shot... but not from falling in the river.

Hey buddy, be so kind and stop for a while!

I wonder what a real worm would say at this sight, maybe "Jackpot", or "Let's have a party" ;)

The worms are very happy that the turtle found the juicy strawberries this time and not them.

What is that thing? Hope it's not a flying saucer!

I'm sure the worms are hoping the snake eyes don't see them.

and isn't granddaughter Evie so cute?

and look !it's Ethan eating his dinner, maybe...

This dog is used to minus 40 degrees and stays outside all his life. SO IT IS HOT for the dog in summer time where it is plus 30 degrees

I'm not certain who enjoyed the view more.

This shows the sharp peircing mouth used to spear flys in flight.

This was taken with a ring flash. This is not a macro shot. The photos of the wasp and bee are still only a close up.

when I think of summer, I think of Dandelions. the beautiful yellow flowers or the wispy head of seeds. As a child we spent hours finding the pods and blowing them all over the place - spreading dandelions everywhere and making millions of wishes.

Situated in the heart of Romania, the city of Brasov benefits from the influence of an ancient history. Much before the discovery of written documents, the archaeologists discovered traces of civilization going back to the Bronze Age. Other archaeological sites found in different places around Brasov prove that there lived a strong community of native population, mixed later on with Roman colonists developing into the Romanian population.

D01775 Lyn Adams - Charles Kuralt platform on Mattamuskeet - a special place - a sacred place - miles from the familiar - miles from the busy pace of our lives ... A winter walk at Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge in far eastern NC is quite a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the 3 hour drive from my home in Morrisville. This is the time of the year when you might see some of the thousands of Tundra Swans that over-winter in this region (having traveled over 4,000 miles from northern Alaska to get here). But more than that, it is a place of sanctuary and solitude, a place to pray and to contemplate the world of nature and all the things that comprise ... the roads less traveled ...

Found in a forest in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia.

This statue was displayed on the streets in NYC...

A hotel, a spaceship, how long before we get there?

The night before a garden walk, we remove all the blooms and spent blossoms from thousands of daylilies . It took 9 people almost 2 hours and about breaks my heart. My daughter calls that evening and says the compost pile was beautiful so we jump on the golf cart, use the lights and take a picture. It was. The next day, there was a full bloom and not a spent blossom in sight. Also very beautiful, well worth all the effort and my tears for the beautiful blooms we removed.

No, I'm a beautiful garden spider, the Argiope aurantia. You're just a worm although I have to admit, you do good work.

Nice one, isn't it?:-))

Between 1888 and 1904 the church was destroyed and rebuilt from its foundation by the French architect Lecomte du Nouy, who also brought some minor modifications to the original plans.

"Target sited at 7 o'clock low..."

These small wild strawberries are everywhere right now around the lake..

I wonder how a worm knows which way is up?

This little rock must seem like a mountain to a worm!

a wet worm... ;)

a real worm would pray "Save me from this salt mine!"

well, "A nice day for a swim!" :D

This impressive memorial sits high on the wall of Puowaina Crater overlooking the graves area of the cemetery. It consists of a non-sectarian chapel, two map galleries, a monumental staircase leading from the crater floor to the Court of Honor, ten Courts of the Missing and a Dedicatory Stone centered at the base of the stairway on which is inscribed, 'IN THESE GARDENS ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF AMERICANS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN SERVICE TO THEIR COUNTRY AND WHOSE EARTHLY RESTING PLACE IS KNOWN ONLY TO GOD'"...

"Oh no" says the worm- "pink leggings dancing my way"

Now that's some building project when seen from a worm's eye view

winter is no place for a worm

Captured low at waters edge. Same person as the previous image but a few seconds later.

Yes there are people on the raft holding the paddles. Captured from low at the waters edge.

...of terror! I'd go back underground if I were him.

Whatever it is I hope it doesn't like worms

A pleasing view for anyone worm or otherwise

Its a jungle out there!!!!!!

Meet "Boots", a cat with unique facial expressions. There is an entire album dedicated to her and her antics, however this image is one of my faves.

A look out to sea at Cox Bay on Vancouver Island's west coast. Throughout the day there had been an incredible storm with waves up to 8 meters (more than 24 feet) in height crashing onto the shore. And just in time for the sun to set, the clouds began to dissipate and the sky started to glow.

My friend Ralph has this cat named Greja who likes to hide under the rug and then jump out at his sisters. Isn't this adorable? I think it is a riot. You can just imagine him saying to himself "they can't see me...."

Little Worms and slugs like it around mushrooms. The shiny object in the lower right corner is part of the mushroom which you can see in the following two shots. (ps9616-467k)

See the weeds under the surface of the water! This is a frog's world, maybe there are little fish too and worms in the mud! (ps2940-553k)

Underneath all this, worms are busy! They loosen the ground. Robins are happy to dig below the grass and pull the worms up, it's a delicacy for them. Unfortunately there was none there, when I took the shot. (ps0061-1.01M)

It has feet only at front and back. Progress is made by planting it's front feet, then arching it's body to bring the rear up to the front, moving less than a body length each time.

"Wonder if I'll make it to the top," said the worm.

Wonder if I could climb up one of those mushrooms and try a bite.

I can see her so maybe she is looking at me.

I couldn't mow the back lawn until I got this shot.

SALTON SEA. (and yes those are flys)

View from the grass

...when looking up at the ceiling of Monmouth University's Woodrow Wilson Hall. Yes, the worm was on the ground for this shot! LOL

Dingo (my dog): This looks like a nice snack.

Don't you think that this is soulfood to go for worms ;-)?

Looking up from fall leaves

I wonder whether this would be what a worm would "see" of a snail?!

When doesn't a worm like to hear it is lunchtime?

I dropped the camera and it took a picture facing towards the sky. Haha, it caught Rex's eye.

I wonder if a worm can see this good?

This worm for sure got a crack in his head, while bending it backwards to see the whole tree!

I assume just like this a worm would see the surroundings when crawling out of the mud . . . .

It took me some shots to take this one... but I'm satisfied, finally ^_^

Had to strap the camera to a squirrel and chase him across the road to get this shot! It's getting harder and harder to come up with creative photos!!

These beautiful wild flowers can be seen in purple, pink and white and grow wild in the mountians of Colorado. Lupine or lupinloo'p?n, any species of the genus Lupinus, annual or perennial herbs or shrubs of the family Leguminosae (pulse family). These leguminous plants have been cultivated in the Mediterranean region since ancient times for enriching the soil. The seeds of some species have been roasted or boiled and used as food to some extent in that locality and in the Andes, and the leafy parts are used as forage both there and in America. Some of the many species native to the American West are poisonous as forage, causing the disease lupinosis to which sheep are especially susceptible. Poisonous species and their effects have not been fully determined. As a garden flower the lupine is a favorite because of the various colors and the tall spikes of bonnet-shaped blossoms. The leaves are usually composed of leaflets radiating to form a rounded handlike leaf. Certain movements, as from the horizontal to a vertical position, are characteristic of the leaves of some of these plants, e.g., the common wild lupine (L. perennis), also called sundial and quaker bonnet. The bluebonnet, or buffalo clover (L. subcarnosus), is the state flower of Texas, where it carpets the plains in springtime with its blue blossoms. In Scotland the name bluebonnet is given to the cornflower. The false lupine belongs to the genus Thermopsis. Lupine is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Rosales, family Leguminosae.

This little fellow is perched on a bit of driveway gravel. He is only about 1 1/3 inches long but would still terrify any small bug - since he's a voracious predator!

If only she had claws and the bird would fly closer.....
