  Posted on Monday October 27th, 2008 at 07:49 in Nature

  Larry, Brandon, and I attended a wedding this past weekend. It's not something I care to relive in pictures or at all, especially so soon. I really did enjoy walking around though and looking at all the animals (mostly birds) and got a few pictures. ...

  Here are some photos I took a few days ago while walking around my yard. The bush is a 7 foot tall Butterfly Bush right outside my office window. On a nice day I can see as many as 8 or 10 butterflies on it at once. I uploaded these same photos to Fl...

  Last night before it got dark Brandon called me over to the back door to look at something. I stared at the back deck for a while trying to figure out what he wanted me to see, and then this bright green Chinese mantis caught my eye. He asked to borr...

• Lots Going On

  Posted on Monday September 8th, 2008 at 07:59 in Nature, kayla

  Last night I noticed this bite on Larry's bicep and I spent a good hour online looking up spider bites. I was more confused after I read all that info. Plus, he said he didn't feel well and went to bed early. Could have been all the yardwork he did i...

  They are pretty much everywhere, and most of them bug me.We have literally dozens of these waspy hornet things that form clouds around our outdoor lights at night. They seem to die quickly too, and we find their bodies scattered all over the porch. A...
