I was going through the Christmas things and found myself a new mouse buddy in the Christmas tree stand.

I don’t know why I took a picture of this.

I’m sorry.

Summer is almost over, so I decided to take some photos of the last flowers of the season.

A combination of allergies, high wind and LCD screen glare, meant that these photograph didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. Ah, well.

About a month ago, I got up, in the morning, to walk the dog. The field we walked through was filled with hundreds of dew-covered spider webs.

Every single one of those white patches is a spider web.

a photograph of a dew-covered web with a spider in the middle — This guy mostly caught a bunch of water.

another photograph of a spider web covered in dew — Nobody was home in this web.

a photograph of a spider web covered in dew — I thought that this one was very pretty.

The next day, all the webs were gone, or, maybe, it just seemed that way because there wasn’t as much dew to make them visible.

Yeah, so, I really need to get into the habit of posting my photographs right away, instead of waiting a month, or more.

Yay! This is the last flickr dump! It’s pictures 351 to 397. I’m a little upset that it’s not a nice, round number. Anyway, click a tumbnail for a larger version.

That’s all, folks! Well, actually, there were more photographs in my flickr account, but I didn’t think they were that interesting.
