Throughout spring and summer when I have spare time, I browse my yard and garden for 'interesting' photo subjects. This includes unusual looking
insects and an occasional flower when the light is right. When an insect isn't agreeable and won't sit patiently while I set-up, focus and shoot,
I'll catch it with a small net and put it in the fridge - restricted, of course, from getting to my food. After five or ten minutes, I'll bring
it back out and quickly take a few shots before it warms up enough to recover and move away.

 Katydid Nymph #2561 Katydids return to my garden year-in and year-out, despite the large crop of Praying Mantises I raise each year. |
 Jumping Spider #2521 I've always had a problem with too many jumping spiders. But this is the first year I've had these large, black variety. Their body is about 3/8" long and they're quite intimidating-looking. |
 Mantis Hatch #2420 Many of the Praying Mantises hatched very late this year. One ootheca hatched only today - June 25, 2009. |
 Baby Squirrel #2179 This little fella somehow fell out of his nest. |
 Cardinal #2030 Colorful Cardinals are always nice to see in spring and summer. |
 Goldfinch #1917 Brightly colored Goldfinches are also a pleasure to see. |
 Soldier Beetle #2506 I believe this is a Soldier Beetle. |
 Flower Chafer #2566 This beetle is a Flower Chafer. TheWorldinLight has an assortment of macro photos of insects on the Close-ups of Insects page. |
 Cranefly #2546 This critter is a Cranefly - a large, delicate, and harmless fly. |
 Purple Finch #2293 This finch is the same size as the House Sparrow, but so much prettier. |
 Downy Woodpecker #1868 These little Downy Woodpeckers don't stick around for long, unfortunately. They move out at the end of winter or early spring. But while they're around, they're a pleasant addition of a little bit of color. |
 Sparrow #2347 Guess who's coming to dinner! This photo proves that there was a day or two when I had too little to do. |
 Dragonfly 2828 For some reason, my yard seems to attract dragonflies. |
 Dragonfly #2828c I would like to hear from the mother. Is this a face you love? |
 Fly #2847 |
 Swallowtail #3587 I believe this is a Canadian Tiger Swallowtail. |
