Our sunflowers are blooming! Then when I went out to the garden to take their pictures i found a bee on one and I think it might be dead or something cause it didn't move at all so i got some pretty good pictures of it. then i found another one of those white spiders from a couple posts ago.

the crysilis hatched! the one from the catterpiller i had a picture of a while back! well i took some pictures of it. There is a picture of the butterfly on my dog Zippy, we took some of it on my brothers face but he didnt want me to post them.

I was in Florida and while i was there i took some pictures! all of the water ones were from right outside our hotel and so was the sun, the bird diving down by the sun is a pelican, but the white flower with ants on it was from this morning, so was the thistle and so was the water droplets on the spider web, click on that picture and you can see the reflection of the grass in each drop.

I finally found the same kind of caterpillar that won the photo contest i didn't win in. to see their picture go to http://www.ideas.wisconsin.edu/graphics/ms10_1_lg.jpg. that is not my picture though. i don't know if mine is better, they're kind of the same goodness but i really like mine. every day i go outside and look for this caterpillar then yesterday i found one! i found a baby one and a big one, this is the big one.

Today me and my dad went to the garden walk thing where you go to 5 people that live around town's houses and you look at their gardens, i brought my camera of course and i took a bunch of wonderful pictures! the one of the tree silhouettes was from last night, not the garden walk. and which bee picture do you think is the best? the bee in this link is not mine, it got 3rd place in the contest that i didnt even place in. the link ishttp://www.ideas.wisconsin.edu/graphics/ms10_3_lg.jpg. look at the bee in this post thats doing whatever bees do to that purple flower. i think mine is BETTER! The first picture is an old one that i forgot to post i think so i just added it to this post.

Today I was outside a lot looking for those caterpillars, trying to get a better one then the person who won that first contest, i didn't find any though. but while I was looking around I found that frog on a milkweed and I took its picture then I was trying to capture it but it jumped away too quick and I couldn't find it :(. the bottom one is a spider web with dew on it, right after I woke up I went outside and took that one so everything was still wet.

I was just walking around when i found this yellow flower and the ant then i found the spider and the bug on some milkweeds when i was checking them for caterpillars, then it started to rain so i ran inside to show my dad the spider, he thought it was really cool, then i showed my mom and she thought it was gross :P oh well, i think it looks really fake, like something from a movie or a science book.

This sandhill crane was in the field next to our house and when i saw it i snuck up to it and i didn't think i was going to get that close, then after i got a bunch of pictures of it i ran up and tried to tackle it but it flew away :( the other two are rose thorns and blossoms from our bushes.
