This morning was a beautiful morning, perfect for the camera. I got some great shots of the morning dew, nature and of course, Charlie and Orso.

I found a few ground webs still wet with the morning dew. I couldn’t see the resident and didn’t want to get too close anyway.

This web had a small grasshopper on a blade of grass above it. I couldn’t tell if the little guy was stuck or not.

This was a beautiful dragonfly that landed for a brief moment.

Another shot of the dragonfly.

A small butterfly landed on a Black-Eyed Susan for some nectar.
I have a lot more to share this week. These were taken with my Canon Rebel and EFF 55-250mm telephoto lens.
Yesterday I posted pictures of Charlie. Today is Orso’s turn. He’s my big sweetie weighing in at 98 pounds. He’s kind of a goof ball, but that’s what makes him so endearing.

This was taken in December on our very frigid hunting trip.
Kind of a clown, daring the squirrel to come down.

Every summer we have a couple of resident Blue Herons that stay until it gets too cold. I was able to get a shot of one of them in flight. He looks pretty cool in flight.
For the last three years we have had Crested Cormorants stop here on their annual Spring migration North, maybe heading to Minnesota. I was so surprised the first time I saw these water birds that look similar to ducks roost in trees. They are black with a crest on top of their heads with an orangish red shade on their lower bills. They swim very low in the water and have long necks.
These shots were taken with my Canon Rebel using a 55 – 250mm lens.
