In the jungle (actually, it's a local state park) death comes quickly at the end of my camera lens. You want flies with that?

Looking Down
When walking through the woods, or life, remember to look down every once in a while. You might be surprised by what you see there.
Like National Geographic, Only Crappier...
Ever hear someone talking about "eating like a bird"? The assumption is that birds don't eat very much. How else do birds stay "light as a feather"?
Well, I'm here to tell ya that the birds who frequent my backyard eat like pigs! I am constantly filling the feeders with seed and suet and they make quick work of consuming it all.
As much as the birds eat, the squirrels eat even more! They eat the bird food and chow down on ear after ear of the corn that I put out for them. Well, the last thing I want on my conscience is a dray of fat squirrels! From here on out, the squirrels are going to have to work for their dinner.
As you can see in the video below, the early results are good!
Full screen viewing is recommended. Click the little, white full-screen widget before, or after, the video starts playing.
The wily squirrel is out early in search of his prey.

Memorial Day - 2010
"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did." ~Benjamin Harrison
Fast Little Buzzer
I wasn't quite fast enough to catch this guy this time, but we will meet again. (This goes for your buddy trying to hide in the upper-right of the photo too!)
In And Around The Lake
Items I found (or, which found me) in and around the lake at Bernheim Forest.
The Color Of Spring

The Burial Plot At Bernheim Forest
At the top of a hill and behind the statue ("Let There Be Light" by the artist George Grey Barnard), Isaac W. Bernheim, his wife, daughter and son-in-law are buried on the grounds of Bernheim Forest. Not a bad place to spend eternity.
Profoundly Pink

Butterfly Stops To Smell The Roses, er.. Japanese Snowball Bush
This plant has an incredible fragrance. Apparently, butterflies like it too.
A Noisy Bird
Might have to crank up the volume to really hear this guy. He seemed to be really intent on expressing himself.
Swans at Cave Hill Cemetery
The Visitor
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
White Flower
A daffodil in black & white
Proud Swan
Shunning the classic swan pose, this swan swam by with its head held high.
You Are So Aflacian
You quack me up!

Odd Goose Out
Hurry up and get out of here! He's coming! No, I don't think we should wait for him! Well, because he looks kinda crazy!
Dance Of Life
A beautiful sculpture in my favorite cemetery, Cave Hill Cemetery and Arboretum, Louisville, KY
The plaque affixed to the base of the sculpture reads,
"Dance of Life
By Stephen CannetoCaptured in bronze, using the
ageless lost wax process,
Dance of Life celebrates the joyous
spirit of a life shared by two.
Notice the woman's right arm
and the man's left arm
are one in the same.
And the man's right leg
emerges from the woman's dress
signifying the lifelong bond
between two people sharing the
DANCE OF LIFE."
