that hay picture was from a bale that our neighbors made, me and my brother were walking around and i just wanted to get a picture of it. then the green spider was still there today. but the fly is new. i was trying to teach my brother to take good pictures when i took the picture of the green bug, he got one too and he put it onto his blog but thats the only picture he has on it, my green bug picture is better anyway :P




i found the black and yellow bug when i was checking milkweeds for caterpillars because the person that won the photo contest i entered used a picture of one of those catapilers to win so i wanted to take a better one then they had. my grandparents and my aunt and cousin were over today and when they were we were showing them our trebuchet and while we were doing that i had my camera so i could take pictures of the launches then i saw that green spider eating the fly, it wasnt really that big, it was on a daisy, i was just really close.

It rained last night so i took pictures of raindrops on things like that green plant, then at night i was walking around outside talking on the phone when i saw that frog, i brought it inside and set it on some fabric, we had the fabric to tie cards with my pictures on them for my aunt.

that spider is really only like a half a centimeter big but it really looked cool so i took its picture. the lady bug was on our gas tank when i was looking for frogs under the cap. thats where i got that gray one. The little black things are aphids that the red ants are eating




these snow pictures are kind of old, they're from my grandparents house when i was still taking pictures for the contest.



















































The picture of trees, stick tights, and the termite tracks are from Underdown forest, the termite tracks were on a log inside the homestead where don underdown used to live in. The pink flowers were from my house though.




there was a photo contest going on and my dad was trying to give me opportunities to take pictures so he brought me into the Underdown forest, the top one is the walls of the ruined Underdown homestead. i entered that picture into the contest because the pictures that are history related get an advantage but i didn't win :( the bridge and the yellow flowers are form the forest too. then the pink flower is a poppy and thats not the natural colors but my camera is just dumb and messed it up, thepink part is the center and the yellow is the petals.




I entered the picture of the road into the photo contest, i really wanted to get a good picture of the yellow butterfly so the first day i saw it i chased it around all over the place but my brother kept scaring it away then a couple days later when hewasn't home i found another one and got it's picture. i found the snake in underdown forest with my dad, my dad was holding it as i took its picture. then it pooped all over his shirt! haha that made my day!


the ant is on the side of our barn before night, i was video taping my brother launching his trebuchet and i saw some worms and ants on our barn so i photographed them. the fly was clinging onto a pine tree needle, i think it was dead...thats why it didn't fly away. the last 3 were all of the same kind of flower but different times and bugs, the flower is like 1/3 of a centimeter so its all really small, but those are some of my favorites.







i was at my grandparents house and they found a robins nest that was abandoned by its mother so instead of just letting them go to waste and just rotting in some hay, i took its picture and i think it looks pretty nice.

these are both the same flowers but they were from different times, the second one came first and it was a morning after it rained.

this was in my grandmas studio, the contest was comming up so i was taking pictures of random stuff and this one looks pretty good.
this was in a tree in my yard, it was reallyyyy windy so i had to hold the branch still so it would stop hitting me.
all of these are just around my house except the burnt wood one, that one was from the underdown forest, my dad took me there to take pictures to enter for a contest and i got that one, i didn't enter it though.




when summer was starting my grandparents came to my house to help plant our garden and i was helping, then when we were working i saw that spider with an eggsack attached to its butt! so i ran inside to get my camera, the one with the tree in front of the sunset was my first good picture, the one with the trees reflection into the water was at underdown forest.
