Macro Monday

I always end up with too many macro shots to chose from come each Monday.  It seems a lot of things I find beautiful are tiny.  Its all in the details for me.

Newman's Lake

I had never been to Newman's Lake.  It's just a quick drive for me.  Lots of people fishing around it.  I could hear lots of birds, but alas they were out of sight.  It's a nice place.  Loved the benches in the water.

Interpretative art.

This is how I feel today.

Dogs on Thursday

(Note the leash on Willow that is lacking on the very young Ludo.  Even then he listened better than his sister.  Hounds... such wanderers.)

I was browsing through some old photos and came across Ludo's first time at the beach.  He must have been around 12wks old in these pics.  Once Dad got him in the water he realized it was all fun and games, but it took some coaching.  The last photo is him chewing on the outer shell of a horseshoe crab.  It was a good day.  I know he is a big boy (133lbs) now, but I guess I will always think of him like this, just a pup.  

Wordless Wednesday

Baby gator

Sweet lil' fella.  I'm sure mama was around somewhere.  Mama gators are actually very good parents.  Not only do they hang around the nest site and protect the small babies, they will even come when the little ones yell for help.  Furthermore, mamas will gently carry their hatchlings in their mouths down to the water.  And we dare call them "cold-hearted."
