Tag this one for the calendar! ☺️

You're saving the planet, Joy! Giving the bees 🐝 🐝 🐝 some nourishment helps us! 😊

A small kingfisher perched on a light-colored branch, showing off its striking plumage. Its head and upperparts shimmer with dark green feathers, while its wings display small white spots. The bird has a long, straight, black beak and a sharp gaze.

Bird ❤️

He's like a bratty teenager: He's sticking his tongue out at you. 🤣

No pressure! 😊

I don't know, but you might consider selling individual photos. Ask other photographers about it. I've seen a few who have websites. 😊

Mike, Do you sell you photos or sell a calendar?

I forgot that you have young kids. ☺️

Do you ever cut them and put them in a vase, Megan?

I am so jealous! This would cost a fortune at the local florist, if there are any . . . 😬 Very pretty! Beautifully arranged, too! 💝💙💕

Great calendar shot! 😊

It must be a diificult bird to photo. Great shot, Mike! It's sweet! 💙

I can't believe you go there to take photos! 😱

Are you in alligator territory? Nooooooooo!

😲 I just saw the one with the teen with the lollipop. Geez! Gross.

I don't remember it. I'll look it up. 😊

I keep thinking about what seemed to be all the progress we made on women's rights in the US since I was a girl in the 70s, yet in the past decade all of the progress seems to have eroded.

Oh, I'm in trouble: Everything looks like a rhinoceros! 🤭😂😂

Years ago, I assigned my college freshmen to choose an advertisement to analyze. They brought their ads to class, and presented them to me and their classmates. One was It for Dolce & Gabbana, and it depicted what the class and I perceived to be a gang rape scene. I'm still appalled by it.

Yes. The eyes, too, fascinated me as a child. I remember drawing pictures of the eyes and their various parts when I was in elementary school. Now, that I'm old, I wonder what colors and shapes am I not seeing clearly. 😭

Those roses are fabulous! 😍 💖💖💖

Either those lily pads are gigantic, or that Heron is tiny. Great shot! 💙

They're all lovely, but that last one is stunning! 😍
I recently bought curtains online; in one photo it shows how the color will look with different lighting. I'm fascinated by "color." I recall that there were several classes in college in which I could have studied this. One was a psych course.

Thank you, Shannon! Good advice. 😊

Thanks, Joy! I hadn't thought of that. I usually go to one of the many family owned garden centers, but they aren't always helpful.
