Found this among a large stand of rhododendron growing wild where a neighbor is buiding a new home. There are 900 kinds and I don't know which this is although it rather resembles minus or ambiguum as pictured on the excellent website of Dr. Karen A. Kron of Wake Forest, There are many stunning photos of rhododendrons and related plants at her site - http://www.wfu.edu/~kronka/kakbek/rhododendrons.html - take a look.

We don't have any two-headed calves; but, if you don't look too closely at this photo, you might think we had a two-bodied bull.

This Gray Squirrel got tired of posing for me and dived into the tall grass beside a neighbor's pond. In typical squirrel fashion, though, his curiosity got the better of him and he paused about three foot up a tree to look at me again.

European Caabbage Butterflies, aka Cabbage Whites, sort themselves out for a square dance. I posted a fair photo of a single member of this species on November 4, 2005, before I knew their name. These were part of a group of at least 14 which were on the ground in a damp wheel rut late on a sunny afternoon.

This curious flying insect with its green body and almost clear wings was photographed from inside the house while it was perched on the outside of the glass of the storm door. The lighting here comes from a fixture beside the door.

No pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, just a cellular phone tower.

Lamb and ewe grazing on a farm in Windsor Township.

The deer I was looking for was spooked by the horn of an inconsiderate motorist, but I did find this Tiger Swallowtail crawling about in the leaf litter adjacent to the highway, but about six feet lower than the roadway. This was handheld, 70-300 zoom lens, with flash.

A pair of mallards, hen and drake, take a stroll through the pasture. Her bill is a bit darker than usual, but the blue speculum (wing band) mark her as a mallard and not a northern pintail hen.

Here is a young cottontail that stopped running away about six feet up a ten foot bank and just sat there as I snapped away. It was twilight and I used a flash, hence the redeye.
