A newly minted deer with a coat so furry it looks like it could be a painting instead of a photograph. Look at that healthy oxygenated blood flowing through those ears!

Robin Floss
A robin seems to have gotten itself tied up with some green plastic grid-like material.
Red Belly
Typical Red-bellied Woodpecker. Apparently, woodpeckers, or their taxonomists, have their bellies in their heads!
Hello Cutie!

A Time For Every Purpose
Then the dust of mortals goes back to the ground as it was before,
and the breath of life goes back to God who gave it.

White-throated Sparrow
One errant stick away from a nice photo...
Funny Bone
If you spend a lot of time in the woods, you will eventually stumble across an animal that has left this world for the next. I recently found this small pile of bones while walking through a local state park and I noticed that one of them happened to be smiling at me. This was obviously this animal's "funny" bone.
Though this bone looks funny to me, I guess it's not exactly humerus.
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.

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.
