Blurry Picture

Carmi's Thematic Photographic 253 is Blurred Vision.

Here we have a nice sharp picture of the leaf behind carpenter bee's shoulder. NOT what I was trying for.

There have been very few butterflies around Columbus this summer. But this Black Swallowtail stayed still for a picture.

Downtown Columbus at twilight:

P.S. Here's a pic I saw at Naked Capitalism.

Growing and Not Grown

Thematic Photographic 251 - Grown
Some things are growin' on this tree!

This tiny mouse isn't grown enough to know: 1) People are scary, 2) mousies shouldn't come out in the daytime, and 3) what various sidewalk weeds taste like (thus each must be sampled).

Six-spotted Green Tiger Beetle

The Six-spotted Green Tiger Beetle, Cicindela sexguttata, is a critter I see pretty regularly on Cacapon Mountain. SHINY!

Each larva stays in its burrow until the following year. In July it changes into a pupa (resting stage). Pupae hatch into adults in August.

Adult Six-spotted Tiger Beetles spend the day looking for food, then return to their burrow (the same one they were a larva and pupa in) at night. Adults also spend the winter in their burrows.

Retro Halloween Contrails

Carmi's Thematic Photographic 213 is Retro . This is a Ford Thunderbird that used to live in the parking lot here.
