| I am fascinated by water droplets & trying to photograph them |
 |
| When I went out for the paper today I noticed quite a few after the rain over night. |
 |
| I shot in manual settings so I would have a bit more control over them-- |
 |
| I had the telephoto lens on, should have used macro--will try that another time! |
 |
| All 3 of these taken in my yard earlier in August |
 |
| Didn't see the fly om this black-eyed susan until I put it on the computer! |
 |
| Macro photography is a favorite of mine! |
 |
| We have a hummingbird feeder outside our kitchen window that has a lot of activity on a sunny day. |
 |
| Once it stopped rainy this afternoon one bird showed up & has been around for awhile. |
 |
| Just sitting on the shepherds hook & flying to the feeder every so often. |
 |
| Not the clearest photos ( taken through the kitchen window) |
 |
| I took quite a few pictures to get these with the red throat showing |
 |
| I love having a zoom lens! |
 |
| I changed the setting on my camera to take B & W photos & forgot to change it back! |
 |
| So, I took a bunch of photos in that mode! |
 |
| I uploaded them & saw my mistake, but I like them this way! |
 |
| Getting lots of chumps of them--so easy to just pop them in my mouth right after I pick them! Yum! |
 |
| For about a week I had been chatting with my friend, Carol about her coming over to see the bison--she is a painter and wants to take some photos & then create paintings. So I arranged with my neighbor Theresa to take us on the farm to see them. |

| Theresa & Carol walking down to the field where the mommas & new babies are. |

 |
| a young one |
 |
| And I couldn't pass up a photo of the Highland Cattle--the 2 females are expecting, too! |
 |
| Spent a fun Sunday afternoon on Isla with Gaby, Marilyn and Miguel ( Gaby's boyfriend) he's very inventive. he decided to make a kite--using a teeshirt fot the body and the tail of the kite. |

 |
| Tough to find the space to fly a kite on the crowded beach on a Sunday afternoon--but they did! |
 |
| Marilyn! |
 |
| Success! |
 |
| Now it's stuck in a palm tree! |
 |
| Relaxing on the beach --- a fun afternoon! |
 |
| I went to the "Big City" ( Hartford) yesterday to the Elizabeth Park Spring Greenhouse Show. |
 |
| It was so nice to see some spring flowers because I don't think we'll see any here--still have at least a foot of snow over all my flower beds! |
 |
| This is a small selection of the photos I took--will be posting more in the coming days. |
 |
| these next 2 tulips were my favorites |
 |
| Love this color! |
 |
| These are funny looking little flowers--I have a few growing near some Hyacinth. And a trip to the area always includes a stop at Trader Joes so I can stock up on stuff I can't get closer to home! |
 |
| I went on a cruise to Bermuda with my Mom & Jenny to celebrate their milestone birthdays ( 80 & 50). My Mom had commented to me that a cruise sounded nice, but she couldn't fly comfortably so we found a trip out of Boston. What a great way to see Bermuda--it can be very expensive to stay & eat in Bermuda, but this way you get your meals on the ship. We met many people that had done the cruise multiple times ( don't think I would ever do that!) The photo is of Gombey dancers that performed in the square in St. George where the ship was docked.Gombey dancers |

| Then it just stopped and looked around...I kept taking photos...Little did I know until I put them onto the computer that it had stopped to go to the bathroom! Next photo! I blew this up and entered it into the Goshen Fair photo contest--got lots of comments about it! |
 |
| You never know what you will see! |
