When I first saw this horse against the dark green backdrop of the trees, it reminded me of a unicorn in a fairy tale. It was rainy and a bit foggy and the horse almost appeared to glow.

My dog was having a fit at the sliding glass door this morning. When I looked out I saw this little guy. He was sitting on the edge of the patio and looked like he was staring at my dog. He tried to retreat into his shell when I opened the door. I got a few shots before he turned and quickly started across the back yard. He looked a lot like the turtle from Day170, but had red eyes instead of brown. He was moving faster than any turtle I’ve ever seen. Maybe he was afraid I was going to let the dog out again.

I don’t know what kind of catepillars these are or if they turn into any type of pretty butterfly, but they can sure do damage to the trees. This is a neighbor’s tree by the road. I noticed the webs while I was out walking. I had never looked quite as closely as I did at these, so I had never noticed that the catepillars seem to be eating the chlorophyll/green part of the leaves from the inside and leaving the membrane of the leaves intact. Not sure if you can tell what I’m talking about from the photo, but it is a bit amazing and creepy at the same time.

This little guy was on my patio door. We always called these leaf bugs because their wings looked like leaves. They are bigger than most regular grasshoppers. Up close he reminds me of an alien. I think they got a lot of the Hollywood alien faces from insects.

My friend’s cat usually hides when I’m around. It ventured out to take a look at the camera.

This is what chasing my granddaughters around does to my dog. He feels it’s his duty to protect them, so he constantly follows them around and misses out on his daily naps. He could hardly hold his eyes open when I took this.
