August 26, 2006 - Star of Germany
Hot, hazy and humid today. I had church meetings most of the day, but stopped at the neighbor's house this afternoon to shoot this one. He said it was a Star of Germany. Whatever it is, it's pretty.

August 25, 2006 - Early Morning Capture
Foggy this morning, but going to get up into the mid-90's today. I went out very early this morning because it is going to be a very busy day and it's going to get hot. I figured I had better get this before the weather took its toll on it.

August 24, 2006 - Morning Glory
Pleasant this morning and foggy. Going to get hot before the day is done, though. I went out early to beat the heat this morning and found this beauty growing through some ground cover.

August 23, 2006 - One Man's Weed is Another's Flower
Warm, bright day but with the feel of autumn right around the corner. Most folks would have looked at the tiny flowers and just considered it a weed. Just shows what we overlook every day.

August 22, 2006 - New Arrival
Warm and sunny today. Humidity still lower that recently. I've been watching these for awhile as they budded, and with the weekend rains, they have come out in bloom.

August 21, 2006 - Morning cream
Foggy this morning and partly cloudy. With the rain we received over the weekend, some of the flowers have recovered, including this one.

August 20, 2006 - Dragonfly Love
Rainy this morning and then high overcast for the afternoon. I went over to a new lake that was built a couple of years ago and chased dragonflies for the afternoon. I caught this couple right in the act.

August 19, 2006 - Grasshopper
Very warm, humid, and high overcast. Good shooting light today. I chased this fellow all over the meadow before he would finally hold still long enough for me to shoot him.

August 18, 2006 - Curious Rocky
Very warm and clear today with a little breeze moving. I was nearly back from my early morning walk this morning when this curious fellow popped up on the side of a tree. I wouldn't have gotten him if he hadn't been very close. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

August 17, 2006 - Wasp
Warm and getting muggy again. I was looking for flowers today when I saw this little fellow crawling around on them.

August 16, 2006 - Log Barn
Weather was a little cooler today and bright and sunny. Had a very busy day today, but got a chance to go out exploring this evening. I came across this log barn. I realize it isn't snap sharp, but I didn't think it was too bad.

August 15, 2006 - Lilly
Showers this morning and then cloudy and humid. I was looking at some roses blooming in a driveway when I saw these lillies blooming. With the overcast day, gaining enough depth of field was difficult, but I did my best to get on the same plane as the majority of the flower.
