Sundays nature photos...

We went over to Mom and Dad's ranch to drop off the auger and I was privileged to have about 15 minutes for a quick walk and photos...

The San Antonio River, flooding but not bad so far...

Argiope, love the web!


I saw this butterfly and thought why is it hanging upside down. I reached down to see what the problem was when I spotted the spider...Hmm seems somebody was busy with lunch...The green bulb like thing is the spider and possibly an orb or goldenrod spider.


A tadpole just turned frog...It's not the greatest photo as I was using the telephoto lens but they were so tiny and cute I had to share.


Bordered Patch

Caterpillar (moth)

I used the Sigma Telephoto 70-300mm lens today. Wish I'd had my Macro lens but it was just to hot to take the backpack...Most of these photos were taken in a 100 yd radius as I didn't have much time to walk far but at least I got a few :o)

I can't get over the spider! Rapid wolf spider sounds really, really bad!

I just don't understand how you photograph it. I'd be using my camera to beat it to death :)

Love the bitty little tadpoles! So cute!

LOL...I agree with Leah! Yikes!!! Beautiful pictures again!!! I can't believe your truck was spared from the nasty weather! We had a terrible wind storm yesterday and my car got creamed by a flying Taco Bell sign! No hail, no rain, just wind!

Oooohhh...I see Lydia below......
