Default Nikki Sue Nikon's Subdivision Sojourn

Saturday, Nikki Sue Nikon said to me, "I haven't felt the tickle of photons on my sensor for at least 36 hours. Take me out and show me the light!" So we set out in the subdivision to see what we could find. The first thing we found was a squirrel apparently afraid of heights, clinging on for dear life on the top rail of our deck.

The blackberries will be ripe soon:

Walker came along, but he said it's awfully hot!

And finally, the cycle of life continues as a thistle seed is released:


DSC_0182

Nikki Sue says "Thanks for looking!"

Great Captures; You need to take her out for walks more often.
I like the flat Squirrel best.

Ah...the sway of photos. I started salivating immediately upon seeing the berries. The way you have photographed them, though, they are almost too pretty to eat. Good photos, all. I'm so glad you are subject to the sultry voice of Nikki Sue whispering sweet photons in your ears.

I don't know what was going on with him...had to snap the shot. I'm glad to say he recovered shortly thereafter and was hanging off my bird feeder.

He's pretty cool and he's the most popular dog in the neighborhood. This picture had only one string of drool hanging down. I need to get a shot of a double drool or a double bubble.
