God's Paintbrush

The peaceful and colorful surroundings of he Education Center at Bernheim Forest, a place that looks like it was painted with God's paintbrush.

Let There Be Light

Let There be Light, by George Grey Barnard, at the gravesite of Isaac W. Bernheim, his wife, daughter and son-in-law.

I don't know if there is a photographer's prayer but, if there is not, "Let There Be Light" would be a good one. The words are engraved on the base of the statue.

The Entrance

What is this underground structure made of brick in Tom Sawyer State Park?

 

Ears

My, what large ears you have...

Bumble Bee

I have never seen a bumble bee with with eyes like these nor that thing that looks like a shovel between them. In fact, I would not be surprised if this is not a bumble bee at all.

Eagle

This eagle reminds me of a judge wearing his judicial robe.

Buggy Whip

That's quite a buggy whip you have there little skipper!

Spot

My pet butterfly, Spot.

Hummingbird Moth

The first time one whizzed by my head, I was certain it was a bee. Then I saw it hovering by the purple thistle and I wasn't quite sure what the heck it was. It looked like the love child of a butterfly and a hummingbird. A quick search of google later, and I knew I was dealing with a hummingbird moth, Hemaris sp. It does seem to have antennae more befitting a moth than a butterfly. I believe there were two of them in the field that day but I have never seen even one of them before. I hope to see them again in the future.

O Hai

Come any closer and I'll jump!

The Drought Of 2012

It's so dry out there a man can almost hear the sound of his own skin rubbing against his powdery bones.

Old Hawk

Seems like one's lens is never quite long enough. Saw this old hawk in a tree but he flew away before I could get close to him.
