Misc. photos from the past few days...

I haven't taken the Macro lens off my camera and here are a few photos from the past few days...



Snail on the wall of the pool...





Doe in the morning checking me out...



A doe with a fawn near the pool...




Cow Killer ant, also called a Velvet ant. I've never been bit by one and I don't think I want too either. Anything with a name like "Cow Killer" doesn't sound like fun. They are rather easy to spot with that orange rear end and they are quiet large too.




Michael has been watching this buck lately when we drive down the driveway and calls it his buck, lol.

I've been a bit under the weather lately and one of the reasons I'm been a bit scarce here on my blog. Seems I caught a head/chest cold from Michael and then early this morning (4am) I awoke with another Kidney stone. The kidney stone is moving, just not fast enough for me. I did go to the Podiatrist yesterday (re: my foot/ankle problems) and they diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis. The Dr. has put me on steroids and has given me stretching exercises to do. She says it is fixable and I am following her directions to a "T", hoping this helps. I'm hoping all this blows over soon and I'll be back to normal, well as normal as I can get. I hope y'all enjoy your weekend!

I have never seen a cow killer ant, it really looks cool.

First off, I hope you start to feel better. No fun being under the weather like that. Will be thinking about you!
Secondly, I have never heard of a cow killer ant before. Scary!
