Daisy, Daisy

From 2010 Blog

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do,
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage -
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'd look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.

From the chorus of "Daisy Bell" composed by Harry Dacre in 1892.
Canon G11, 1/200 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 400 in macro mode.

Groucho Glasses

From 2010 Blog

- My grandson Robert in his Groucho Glasses. He spent the night with us last night and this morning I had the pleasure of introducing him to one of finer things in life, we watched the Three Stooges in "Gents in a Jam" together. We both laughed out loud the whole time. That physical comedy still appeals to grown kids like me as well as the younger generation. Canon 7D 1/30 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800.

Lashes

Hosta

Bumblebee Moth

From 2010 Blog

- The Bumblebee Moth, more properly known as the Snowberry Clearwing (Hemaris diffinis),has found a good source of nectar from the Million Bells in Susan and Duane's backyard.
