Camera-Critters #15
Saturday, July 19, 2008


This is the story of a crazy lady, who thought she could sneak up on a Buzzard sitting on a hay bale. Yeah, you ever tried to sneak up on a big bird who, from clear up in the sky is able to see an itty-bitty mouse running through a field? Yeah... not only is she a crazy lady, she must not be all that bright.

So, you see, this lady spots a buzzard sitting on a hay bale.
She decides to try to get closer for better pictures.
Nah, gotta get closer than this.

Said buzzard notices said lady, and is NOT very amused with the trick she is trying to pull.
"Listen LADY! I've got my wings ready, and I'm NOT afraid to use 'em!
Just a few steps closer, Lady, and I swear I'll..."

"That's IT! You've done it! This hay bale ain't big enough for the both of us!"
"HA! Let's see you get up here!"

"Yeah, that's what I thought, ya big chicken!"
"Yes, you just got called a chicken by a Turkey Buzzard! What you think you're gonna do about it? Yeah, that's what I thought... just go on your merry way, Crazy Lady."

Speaking of trees...
It's a bird, it's a plane...
No....... it's a Monarch butterfly.

I swear the neighbors could set up home theater seating outside and be continually amused by the antics of the Crazy Lady with the Big Camera and her critters.

I'm a Hottie
Monday, July 14, 2008

(c) Misty DawnS


Our temperatures are supposed to be in the 90's for the next few days. Yes, I like the heat. However, along with the heat comes the humidity, and lucky me does not have any dang air circulation in my office at work. OK, well, that's a lie... on Friday, they brought me this little thing they claim is a fan, and, if I close my eyes real tight and block out all noise to allow me to hear the fan's motor, I can actually convince myself that I feel some air coming from it... almost. It almost causes me to not feel like going for photo walks when I get home in the evenings... almost. Heck, if I didn't go for my walks, I would miss annoying all of you with my excessive photo posting the opportunity to get photos like the one in this post. Isn't it pretty? I think it's pretty.

Some use Phentermine; I just melt away at work and then come home to chase critters.

Summer Photos
Monday, June 16, 2008

Get used to it. You'll be seeing lots of butterfly, dragonfly, insect, and flower photos from me for quite a while. Summer is almost here, and the flowers and flying critters are proof of that. I just can't resist taking shots of all of the critters and flowers... yes, even if I already have photos of them. Hey, I might get better photos than what I already have.

Just wait! Eventually, I will get that dream DSLR, and, then, I'll be taking and posting photos of EVERYTHING! hehe. G, I can feel your excitement from here. You're trilled, I can tell. hehehe.

Camera-Critters Sunday #6
Saturday, May 17, 2008

This butterfly photo is another product from my lunches at the park. I really appreciated that this Swallowtail butterfly took the time to pose and reveal all of it's beautiful colors for me to capture. I see many of these butterflies, and you would think that I would be tired of them by now. I'm not, though, because I love the striking contrast of their colors against the black.

In fact, the temperature is supposed to get up to 78 degrees fahrenheit today, and it is supposed to be a glorious day. So, I'm getting ready for a walk :-)

I may not get to visit some of your CC post until tomorrow, because we are going to a belated Mother's Day cook out/get together this evening.

Camera-Critters Sunday #5
Saturday, May 10, 2008

What's a girl to do when she gets a full-time job and starts going through withdrawals because she can't go on her many photo walks? Well, go to the park on her lunch break, of course!

What's a girl to do when she's absolutely obsessed with photography and becomes full-time employed which results in her actually working three jobs? Start planning on how much she can hide away each month to try to get that dream camera so she can start reaching for her dream, of course ;-)

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Camera-Critters Sunday #2
Saturday, April 19, 2008



In keeping with last week's theme. When the weather gets warmer, in addition to dragonflies, I will also be obsessed with butterfly photos. Last Summer, this Swallowtail butterfly was very generous in sitting on this weed long enough to allow me to take several photos of it. I was disappointed that I cut the bottom tip of its wing off in the photo, but I still really like this photo anyway.(c) Misty DawnS

We have had several days of clouds and rain this week. However, tomorrow, the temperature is supposed to get up to 72 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is supposed to be only party cloudy. Why, oh why, did my husband have to give me this stupid flu which makes me very sick and totally wipes me out? I'm trying to keep my spirits up though by reminding myself that the butterflies won't be out yet... OR, maybe I'll be miraculously all better tomorrow morning!

Want to join the Sunday meme all about animal/critter photos? Hopefully each Sunday will provide a variety of critter photos, from pets, to wild animals, to birds and insects. There MAY be more than one critter in the photo, and there MAY be humans in the photo, as long as the critters are the main subject of your photo.

When True Love is Found
Saturday, December 1, 2007

(c) Misty DawnS

When It's a beautiful day,
Even when it's raining,

When each night you go to bed,
looking forward to what the next day will bring,

When you find yourself thanking the Lord
for this life He has given you,

When tears are shed,
but not because you are sad,

When you want to learn everything about someone
including the faults,

When you catch yourself smiling
for no apparent reason at all,

When you find yourself daydreaming
about the years to come,

When you find yourself forgetting
bad years passed,

When you undoubtedly know
whose side you will be by until the very end,

This is when
you have found true love.
