Photobombed!

I was trying to get a good shot of the butterfly (unsuccessfully) when he got photobombed by a bumblebee.

Sweet Blue

We picked blueberries at Mountain Meadows Farm in Columbiana, Alabama this week.  It is just down the road from my house.  Although it is getting a little late in the season, Jim still has a ton of very sweet and delicious blueberries.

Weekend Reflections: Birmingham, Alabama from Railroad Park

This is Birmingham, Alabama reflected in the pond at Railroad Park near downtown and Regions Field, home of the Birmingham Barons baseball team.

This is one frame from the time lapse I put together here, and except for minor sharpening is straight out of the camera.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Weekend Reflections: Japanese Gardens

The classic photo everyone takes when they visit the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, perhaps with a young couple walking across.  I was there, so I did.

Have a nice weekend and visit other Weekend Reflections here.

Fierce Butterfly

These guys are the most aggressive butterflies I have ever seen.  Most flit away if you move at all.  Not this guy.  He almost attacks you, and can be somewhat annoying, in a butterfly sort of way.  They will light on your head, your shoulder, your table, whatever, and they do not shoo away.

52 Photos Project

The challenge this week at 52 Photos Project is:

"the honey of the fields, what's in bloom?"

This was the prettiest rose in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens a little over a week ago.
