Cock-a-doodle-doo...

Afteroon delight...

Look at the sparkle in her eye. Can you believe she's nine years old?

All seeing...

Can you believe that this is my 1,050th consecutive post?

Here are three desktop images to watch over you as the truck watched over me.

I see you and you and you and...

Two desktops for you today. Be sure to click 'em both for detail.


Surfing a garden wave..,

What the?...

I see these often during the summers on Long Island.


But are they flying ants? Or flies that LOOK like ants?


I have a few more critters for the next few days.
Check back daily! :)

Revenge of the revenge of the fly...

Although they make me think of filth...


...I can't help but love everything about these compound-eyed, sticky-footed, regurgitating, long haired, maggot creating insects.

Fly-bee-thing...

It hovered in place.


It darted about.


It buzzed LOUDLY!


Then a female appeared with what looked like honey on her back...


And he must have liked it... because he mated in an instant.

Passage to her soul...

Be sure to click the second and third images for desktop lusciousness. Truly amazing eyes. These will require another visit.







Yes, that's me in there :)

No birds... just bees...

Click them all... but click the last picture for a super sized desktop image! If you look closely you will notice there are more than two bees there. Not very monogamous if you ask me.

Revenge of the fly...

I'm not touching you...

Have you ever annoyed somebody by getting REALLY close to them?


Just wondering.

Retinal...

That look you give me...

Trapped...

This was taken at one of the local insane asylums. I noticed later, that as I was looking in, there were many faces looking out. I separated a few of the faces and a VERY distinct looking "eye" into a second image below. How many faces to YOU see?

Tail of newt...

Eye of doG!

California... Day 4... Part 1 of 3...

I told you I have a lot of shots...
And I told you she was showing dogs... every day... dogs...

"Just a leeeetle bit closer and your soul will be miiiiiine!"


I just couldn't get over this wonderful eye.


Ok, so we were on the road by noon and heading toward Joshua Tree National Park. Maybe someone can shed some light as to why there is a Mammoth on the side of a mountain. I'm assuming that fossils are found in them thar' hills...


Everyday, up until now, consisted of clouds.


I wish they would set these up in the Long Island Sound already. I found them quite relaxing.


The park is beautiful and caters to rock climbers.


There are trails to wander on and many sights to see. Unfortunately my wife feared having to drag ourselves out if the desert with rattlesnake bites... so we didn't wander to far. (The day after this trek a woman at the dog show with a dalmatian was telling me that her dog was bit by a rattler... while we were out on our hike. He was given antivenin and was ok. It was actually the second time the dog had been bit in two years!)


Waggy leaves one behind for Hollywood. Take that!


Even in this arid land the ground is teaming with life. I wish we could have stayed till dark to see some REAL wildlife.


I was told that these Joshua trees only grow in this area of the world at around 2,000-6,000 feet above sea level. They thrive in the area that is the park.


Enjoy the desktop image...


Our vacation starts to look up.


Come again tomorrow :)
