New Hibiscus

This tropical Hibiscus was a gift a few months ago, this is the first flower.

Autumn Mushroom

Two images of the same mushroom taken a week apart.

I'm told that as they stretch and expose the 'fins' they are getting ready to release their spores.

This one is growing under an old Cedar tree.

PhotoShow # 13

Lucky # 13 is ready. Wet Stuff, mostly plants and flowers with a couple bugs for this 4 minute show.

PhotoShow # 12

The hard frost has put an end to my insect photography for the season so here are the rest of my bug pics in PhotoShow # 12, "Bugs 2006".
Please use the link (My PhotoShows) to the right again to see the show.
This little butterfly is an 'American Copper', about an inch wide. It was a real challenge to capture. There are about 4 dozen shots of some common and a few unusual insects from my yard. No scary spiders or snakes in this show that runs about 6 minutes.
Comments are welcome.

Predators

I've just finished PhotoShow # 11, called Predators. Use the PhotoShow link at the right and click on this image to watch.

It's my best and longest so far. Over 40 images set to music. It runs for about 5 minutes. All shots are from this past season in and around my gardens. I hope you like it.

Sweetgum color

Sweetgum trees (Liquidambar styraciflua) are the last to turn color but it is worth the wait. One tree can display almost every Autumn color imaginable at the same time.
