Here are a couple more pictures my brother-in-law took in St. John. These squid won't let you get much closer without squirting black ink and jetting away:
Here's a couple of my own from the backyard. I thought chippie was getting most of the seeds. Wondered how he or she could eat that many. The other day, I saw that there are two of them (at least).
I have some flower pics, too. These Ashburn tiger lilies are growing wild on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail.
But they don't have triple blossoms, like several patches I walk by in D.C.
How about a bee?
Mouse over pics for captions, and click them for larger versions.

Clever title! You are always such fun to pal with!
Awww...love the chipmunk!
Spent about 20 minutes with a squadron of Caribbean Reef Squid while snorkeling once in Turks & Caicos. They were down about 15+ feet. I would free dive down and get closer to them to observe their behaviors. They moved in unison, changing shapes, colors, & swimming directions almost on cue. They knew we were there and were watching us as intently as we were watching them. We decided it was a couple parents and 4 young squidlets out for an adventure. Tho' we dove with black tip reef sharks and spotted eagle ray on that trip, this close encounter was an absolute highlight.
I loved being able to go and snorkel when we were on vacation in the ocean... Lucky Chippy....Michelle
