Butterfly

Fireworks I had to pat myself on the back a little. For being under a tree using a 2 second shutter HAND HELD I had about 10 shots that came out pretty good.

Goggles

Insect On Flower Eating

Napping passenger in car

Pool fun mid-air dive

Reflection This is from a fireworks show at a lake near our house. We had a spot right at the water. I looked down and watched 1/2 the show as a reflection. It was pretty cool!

Stormy This is the Philadelphia Skyline, but you can only see 1/2 of it because of the storm rolling in. I had never seen anything like it up to that point.

Firefly * I had a real hard time with this one, I am posting the progression of some of the pics I took, the 1st one it's a streak of yellow-green and hard to see among the leaves, the 3rd is of it hovering before blinking and then the 4th I got it's light.

Very impressive, you guys!

I have gone through the last week's worth of pictures and I'll write up my responses later tonight.

I'd like to say, although I think I've been fairly liberal with some of the judgements, please, please try to stick with the original intent of the items.

Items were chosen for a reason, and it's kind of unfair to people who go out of their way trying to find things as intended, for me to then issue the same points to someone who's really improvised on a less difficult item to find, KWIM? I'd rather not be put into the position of "making a judgement". Thanks, just wanted to get that out there.

I just found this... which is too bad since we were in DC/Arlington over the weekend.... and I didn't take any pics of Arlington Cemetary!!

Well this will start me off... I have a few since the beginning of the contest to get me started... but I'll have to go do some serious hunting and snapping to try and catch up!!

Airplane

Fishing

Freckles

I know I took a few more this month... and I'll add them too, once I get them uploaded. I hope that's OK.... If not, I'll just see what I can get fromtoday onward

I have managed to get tendonitis in my knee, so I'm not sure if I can get out in the next week or so! I will try, but in the meantime I am going through what I have already taken to see if there are any more photos I can use!!

Attractive:

(Although I do like the look of this photo, I am calling this "attractive" because it is a photo of Wivenhoe Dam which is one of the dams which supplies Brisbane with water. The reason it is attractive is that less than 2 years ago this dam was nearly empty and we were on incredibly strict water restrictions. We luckily had some good rain and the dams are now about 95% full. We are still on water restrictions, but not as severe. Here in Australia, as PrincessinOz and shushh will agree with I'm sure, bodies of water like this are very attractive to us!! Am I clutching at straws? A little! I will try to do better!!! Thanks for indulging me!!

Insects (on flower or feeding):
