50% Survived (t)
I just happened to shoot as the insect on the right broke free from the web and fell. He was probably still in shock and didn't remember he had wings. He wasn't wearing fall protection either, so, he hit the ground, shook himself a few times and then flew off buzzing, "Sorry Bubba. You're on your own."

Out Of Bounds (t)
I used to play golf once a year. I haven't done that for a number of years now. I'd rather shoot photos than hit a little ball. However, I am still so athletic that even once a year was enough to keep me sharp. I could hit those rocks every time I played; whether I was aiming at them or not!

Stringing You Along (t)
I like electricity. Electricity powers my refrigerator and my computer. I can get something cold and I can get the internet. What more do you need?

Forbidden Paths (t)
Not everything is always open. However, usually, a good chain and truck will take care of the roadblock. Not that I'm condoning trespassing, just saying!

Play Ball (t)
The Rangers are looking for a pitcher and catcher. Preferably, someone who has connections for uniforms, baseball equipment and access to a ball field. Other than that, they are ready to play ball!

Protrusion (t)
It's really hard to get lost on this stretch of Central California coastline. Just look for the bump on the horizon.

Counting Cars (t)
I've noticed there aren't as many railroad car loggers out and about as there used to be. It appears the railroad has trained birds to do the logging for them. The birds must have quite a memory because I don't see any of them writing down figures.

Did You Drop This? (t)
There is nothing like late afternoon light for photography. A natural golden hue. Although, I have to admit that sometimes I have a hard time differentiating objects as the light wanes. I don't know how many shots I took of this object before I realized it wasn't an asbestos rock.

Dirt Is Just Fine (t)
Woody the cat is not picky about where he lies down, which, at times, causes problems. Like the time he laid in a hill of red ants. He kind of gave me that look of what the heck and spent the next hour dancing and scratching.

Regular Visitor (t)
This guy has visited for the past five years. He always lands in the same aptos blue tree, poops in the same spot and then says, "Well, did you miss me? Got any 70s music for me?" To which I always reply, "Quit crapping on my tree!"

Odd Man Out (t)
You have to look quick to catch Cedar Waxwings around our place. They zoom into the area in droves and then disappear leaving Robins behind.

Alert (t)
Mockingbirds seem to be aware of everything that goes on around them. I think it is a learned skill; maybe a survival instinct. I mean, you really have to be alert to keep from getting shot because you are singing at 3 AM in the morning!

Metamorphosis (t)
Ben the caterpillar has been chomping on passion vine leaves for a while now. His jaws are sore. He's full. He's big. He is going through the last stages of becoming a chrysalis and takes one last look skyward before being completely encased.

You Are Next (t)
I am always suspicious of vultures since they tend to congregate. However, this osprey was overly interested in my movement. He followed me for about twenty minutes. Turns out, he just wanted to borrow my cell phone for a quick call.

Oops! (t)
Heron: "Oh, my goodness! I dropped another fish bone in the grass! That's not going to go well with all those people walking around in bare feet! I'm just so clumsy and maybe a tad bit messy. I apologize! No, I don't! I better go find another fish!"

The Walking Dude (t)
Every time I see a crow or raven, I think of Randall Flagg, The Walking Dude, in Stephen King's, The Stand. The bird was Flagg's eyes or maybe Flagg himself! The Walking Dude is one really evil dude who won't go away; he keeps showing up in other King books in one form or another.

Don't Want To Be Here
Every cow I've talked to has always mentioned this is the one place they don't want to be caught at. Too much slice and dice after the truck ride.

Broken Bond (p)
When things are left unattended, they tend to break down. Then again, there are things that are tended too much and break down; like government.

Complaint (t)
Cormorant: "You've got to be kidding! I can't even spell Phalacrocoracidae let alone pronounce the word! Who in their right mind came up with that term as a family name? I can hear it now. Hi, I'm William Phalacrocoracidae! What's your name? the ospreys will be falling out of the trees at that one!"

Zeroing In (t)
All you have to do is keep moving. Don't even think about resting. Flutter your eyelids. Wiggle your toes.

Dark Meat
There was a little celebration the night before this shot was taken. Campfire, beverages, s'mores. This guy was the fire tender. He got a little close. He almost became part of the snacks.
