August 14, 2006 - Plain Sunflower
Very warm with a mix of clouds and sun. Expecting rain this evening. I was out scouting for a worthy subject to shoot today, and happened to look up and see this sunflower. It's simple, but I liked it.

August 13, 2006 - Little Bee
Hot, dry and breezy today. I've been watching these little bees working on Queen Ann's Lace for a couple of days now. I finally got one to hold still for a moment.

August 12, 2006 - Flower Bud
Warm with hazy sun today. I was out chasing butterflies today and noticed that these flowers were beginning to open up. This particular flower bud caught my eye.

Cloudy and humid today with intermittent sun. We were very busy today, but since our granddaughter was visiting, she struck a pose or two for grandpa.

August 10, 2006 - Red Clover Visitor
Rain this morning and then high overcast with a few peeks of sun. Most of the thistles have finished blooming, so the butterflies were working the clover. I caught this little fellow visiting one of them.

August 9, 2006 - High Mountain Beauty
Weather was hazy all day this day, but not as humid. This flower was growing at Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia. They sat on a high, small stem. With an almost constant wind blowing, it was quite a challenge to get a decent shot.

August 8, 2006 - Cascade on Pendleton Falls
Weather this day was rainy and foggy early, then hazy sun in the afternoon. Went to the mountains for a couple of days - thus the delay in posting. These were just some of the several cascades that fall from Pendleton Falls in Blackwater Falls State Park.

August 7, 2006 - Sandstone Falls
Stormy and very humid today. I drove to the southern mountains today and ran into thunderstorms. I wasn't able to get out to the main falls, but did get this one shot while huddling under an umbrella.

August 6, 2006 - Old Building
Intermittent clouds and sun today, and very humid. Expecting rain this afternoon. This old building sits almost directly across the road from our church. I had been meaning to get a shot or two of it for some time. I had the time this morning.

August 5, 2006 - Black Swallowtail
Very warm and breezy today. Difficult weather to be trying to catch macro images, but this fellow posed for me. Because the light was very good, the shutter priority still allowed me to get some depth of field.

August 4, 2006 - Simply a Daisy
Cloudy today with occasional storms. I had to dodge in and out of storms and a busy schedule to get some shots today. These daisies were down the street from my building.

August 3, 2006 - Little Pink
Another day of the heat wave, with temps in the middle 90's and high humidity. I have to watch or my lenses fog up when I go outside. I've been try to get one of these little fellows, but they are difficult because they are small and sit on a high stem. Wind is always a factor.
