My image for today is of my neighbor's Day Lily.  It was a nice bright reddish orange color that reminded me of a flame.  Since Fridays are for bokeh, it has a bit of house siding bokeh.  😉

This is an image I was able to get a while back of a Bumble Bee enjoy the Butterfly Milkweed.  It was just about to land on this bloom when I captured it.

I captured this image in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago now.  I had never seen this behavior for a Redwing Blackbird.  It was hoping around on Lily pads and sticking it's beak into the flowers.  I'm not sure of it was trying to eat the flowers or if there were insects inside it was trying to eat or what.  It was rather interesting to watch though.

Happy 4th of July to the US and good day to everyone else!  Here are some Black Eyed Susans from my garden creating some natural fireworks.

This is an image I capture recently.  I'm not sure if it was some kind of standoff or coincidence.  Not sure if Ladybugs eat ants or maybe vice versa.  😊  Anyway, I thought it made for an interesting subject to photograph.  I captured this on the leaf of a milkweed and the shadows gave it that blue-ish cast.

This is an image from Memorial Day weekend when I was over running Live Steam G Scale engines with some friends.  The building it is going past is a Coaling Tower modeled on one similar to the one at Chama that belongs to the Cumbres & Toltec.  He did a beautiful job on it.  If you would like to see this scale model in a video with another live steam locomotive, I posted a short video on You Tube here.

Posting quite late today as I was out all day.  It's already July.  Since we have had a bit of rain lately it reminded me of Spring when the waterfall was flowing at the Geary State Fishing Lake.  This is a regular exposure shot and not my usual long one.  Still looks quite nice I thought.
