Went out to the backyard and saw these grasshoppers mating. They have been hanging out around the back of the house in the shade a few days but I happened to capture this moment.

There were no more creepy bugs around the house today so I had to fall back to the final picture from my Mobile trip (that's pronounced Mo-bill, Ron). I cropped it a little. Guess I'm going to have to take my camera out tomorrow. Right now the only place I go is to school to work in my classroom so I might just take pictures of all the work I've done.

Imagine my surprise when I went in the bathroom and found this critter in the sink. Now most peoples' first reaction would be to get rid of it. Mine was to get the camera.

Grasshopper in the front yard

Went to walk the in-laws to their car. My husband spotted this big grasshopper on the gutter. Of course I had to go back in to get the camera. It is so hot outside that I had to wait for the camera to defrost. Thankfully this bug hung around while I waited.

I was taking a picture of the bay and a bird flew into the shot. Glad he was somewhat in focus.

Went to Mobile Bay and took this picture. The birds were hanging out on top of the light poles. At first I didn't even see them but a friend with me pointed them out.

I'm a big slacker

Wow, it has been a while since I posted any new pictures. Last week I was working in my classroom to get it ready for the kids to come back and this week I'm at a teacher conference. I have my camera with me and will try to take some pictures while I'm here. I have been slacking on my picture taking because the end of summer is sneaking up on me and I'm trying to get everything ready for the beginning of the school year.

My dog, Bandit, woke me up early this morning. I was not happy but when I took him out I found this little guy sitting on the gas tank on the side of the house. I took the crybaby dog back in and got the camera.

Originally uploaded by shaddybaby

16 more trips up the stairs and we have more model cars in the model room. Chris said this was almost all the model cars. We went to work in the apartment some yesterday and I still saw quite a few left over there. The entire wall at the house is full!

I went out with Bandit this morning and found this hawk feather in the grass next to the house. We have hawks that circle on a regular basis and knew I would be taking a picture of this when I found it.
