Day 403

While looking around for plants to photograph, I noticed this Japanese Maple had several inch worms living on it. The leaves had many holes in them, from their hungry residents.

Day 163

Today's photos are by the stairs and path to our house.

This ant and inchworm where co-existing and occasionally swatting at each other.

This is a strand of oak tree pollen, which is actually tiny flowers.

The rhododendron buds started opening.

On the railing of the steps, were lots of little creatures. 

There were several tiny green insects moving swiftly.

There were about 6 inchworms inching along the rail. I took photos of a few of them.

These were going in opposite direction. When they inched into each other, they had a bit of a fight. I love how the ant is looking at them, as if it's a wrestling match and it's a referee.

Day 159

Today is about what I found while looking through my living room windows.

I was looking at a bee, but noticed this inchworm crawling in a holly leaf. I like that it's able to hang on and stretch out so well.

Alex noticed this inchworm climbing up a strand. My camera wouldn't focus well on the tiny subject, in the air. I patiently waited for it to reach the tree.

This egg shaped web is perfect for Easter.

Later in the evening, there were several insects on the window.

This is a ladybug. I confirmed it had spots and wings, but I wasn't able to take a nice photo of those features.

This is another flying bug.

Day 157

Today, we ventured to Outback for lunch and then came back to the house, because John had to work later.

This little insect was on a leaf of our azalea bush.

At Outback, there was one rose on this bush. It was hidden, nestled among the thorny branches.

They had large clumps of tall beach type grass. This is an upshot of that.

When we returned, John noticed this little inch worm. He was holding it by it's string, but because that's hard for my camera to focus on, he placed it on a porch wall.

One of our bushes started growing buds. This one has unusual flowers later, which of course you all will see when that happens.

While venturing into our front yard that we share with one neighbor, I noticed how nice the dogwood trees looked backlit by the evening sun.

These bushes line one side of the front yard.
