Summer has officially begun in our area! Here are photos from the first full week in June.
We have had several turtles lay eggs in our yard – here’s one of the moms. They dig a hole, lay the eggs, cover them and leave them for fend for themselves.

This is a ladybug larva. I had no idea they looked like this!

This week’s topic on CFFC is “Half of Any Item”. I photographed these steps last year this way because I liked how the plants were growing – not quite half a set of stairs but close 🙂
Brian is leading this week’s challenge titled “Fragments”. I decided to share some photos from the beach that hopefully represent this topic.
When a wave hits the shore, it’s kind of like a fragment of what it originally was.
This must have been a beautiful conch shell once upon a time.
This little tree remnant is standing tall among the dunes
Great topic Brian – this one had me stumped for a bit!!
I’m a little behind on editing and posting the 365 photos due to computer problems – ugh!!!! For some reason – Lightroom has been running at a snails pace so I deleted and re-installed it, however my gut is telling me that it’s probably close to computer replacement time since it’s 7 years old – which is 49 in dog years. Anyway – here’s week 22.
May 28 – Meet “Chewy” – our nephew’s dog.
May 29 – Local resident
May 30 – New growth
May 31 – Protection fences for the sand dunes
June 1 – Grackle – these birds can wipe out a feeder
June 2 – Local barbeque company – the best in this area- this is the back of their catering truck
June 3 – Taking a nap
Donna of Wind Kisses is hosting this week’s challenge titled “What’s Bugging You”. I think that insects are one of my favorite subjects to photograph – mostly because it involves macro photography which I love. Here are a few that I have taken in recent years.
Dragonfly – I’ve been know to chase these around my yard 🙂
Soldier beetle or lightening bug – they are very similar looking except one lights up at night
Ladybug – I usually find these in fields full of weeds and wildflowers
Black swallowtail butterfly – plant some parsley and they will lay their eggs on it
Thanks Donna for a wonderful topic!!
Almost 5 months completed!!

This week’s topic on CFFC is “colorful monochromes”.
The first photo is purple amethyst. It was quite beautiful in person and was taken at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.
