The butterflies have been swarming my zinnias.
Corn Snake
This poor little guy was flattened on the road in front of the library. I have no idea how long he’d been there, but long enough–baking in the heat–that he didn’t smell. I brought him home.

I got out the big camera, for a change. All these were taken with a Lensbaby 2.0. Close-ups were taken with a macro filter.

And guess what? My car still isn’t fixed. They put everything back together and still couldn’t get the brake lines to pressurize, because the master cylinder is also shot. So that’s going to double my repair bill. They said the part should arrive tomorrow morning, and they promised it would be ready to pick up by the end of the day tomorrow.
I thought that the one silver lining of losing Frances, and it was a pretty piss poor one, was that I would finally be done hemorrhaging ridiculous amounts of money. HA! No, I would not be that lucky.
Bumblebee and Echinacea
The echinacea near the loading dock was swarming with bumblebees when I left work this affernook.
Moth
This little guy was on my patio window when I got home today.
Hawk
I had some work done on my car today, and when I pulled into the Midas parking lot, there was a hawk perched on a nearby road sign.

I spent most of the day scanning old photos. Mostly stuff I had scanned years ago but only had low res files, since it was the dark ages when web space was limited. Also some photos that had never seen the light of day. I need to add proper titles and tags in Flickr, but I’m sick of sitting in front of computer and the dog is giving me extreme stink-eye, so it’s time to do something else now.
