1. I hate bees. I really f***ing hate bees. But I really wanted a picture of them. Here you go. Don't ask me to do anything brave until tomorrow.

2. Random grass pic

3. Okay, this one is cheating since it isn't MD, but it is too cool to not share. A huge pile of tiny clams on the beach at low tide. All were alive and the pile wiggled when I poked it. Pretty neat.

These were spotted along the C&O Canal this morning. The camouflage on the first one is really impressive.

The first lizard is called a Fence Lizard, and the second a five lined skink. Can't tell about the turtle...

I saw a few big painted turtles and many small ones. I think this was a big painted out for a bask in the sun.

Thanks for the lizard info, I had no idea on either.

They recently chopped down a big swath of the woods here in severn near the watertower to make a new neighborhood. With how much habitat is gone now, it's flushing the local animals out into the neighborhood around here. Jenni and I have been commenting every night we've walked stoney how many animals are tame and just standing around in people's yards and I decided to bring along my camera on tonight's walk. There wasn't much light so I had to shoot most of these at 3200 ISO with my old beat-up canon sx230hs...sooo lots of noise in the pictures. These are some of the critters we walked past from about 8-8:50. There were also some hawks, buzzards, frogs and others...but these are the ones I felt like grabbing.

As a small child my parents grew sunflowers that were six feet tall and they would tell me that the flowers were watching me. I was scared to death of them till I realized that they actually turned to face the Sun, hence the name.





Everybody's pictures tell a story so this is a froggy one. I left a bucket out to catch some rain water and a frog made his home in it so I just let him live there rent free. When Winter came and the bucket froze solid I thought Adios Amigo, but he reappeared again when the ice melted. Still lives there rent free, two years and counting.

Even the frog is on OWE mally's list of taxable items...don't let him find out the frog is committing tax fraud by using your rainwater
