Hi Susan thanks that you liked my wasp on the mums bee's and wasps dont seem to bother me while photographing as long as I stay still and don't bug em.

 I added you as a friend ok

 Thanks Jackie

Hi Susan! Thank you! I love photography and would rather take pictures of flowers, wildlife and scenary. I will be posting more throughout the spring and summer. I am happy to share my passion with others and hope they enjoy it as much as I do! Take care! Bonnie

Some of the best pictures I've gotten were from my car (husband driving). You have to take them thru the windshield. Less blurr. I've also taken them thru my sun roof in the city. The buildings come out amazing against the sky. Don't use flash. Glad I'm not the only car photography nut.

Flowers and veggies. I love the natural high of growing my own food.

Your pics are spectacular. I particularly enjoy the dew covered Tulips.

The red plant is a flowering quince. some call it a hawthorne bush.

Thanks for joining Odds and Odders. Getting a lot of great input here, my kind of picture stories.

Thanks for contacting me! I just learned about Trilliums only a couple of years ago. I was driving to Charlevoix and wondered what those white flowers were all along the roadsides. I was thrilled to learn they were Trilliums. Wonder if I could grow them in my own woods? Never seen them in seed catalogs. I recently moved to the family property with 5.5 acres, a creek and trout pond. Have been transplanting things from the other house not far away, and dealing with the deer population. So far have caged everything (lilacs, forsythia and burning bush) and just added three apple trees and two pears. Eventually, when they mature, I hope for them to feed the deer to keep them down by the creek, but have caged them in the meantime. For now, I am concentrating on deer resistent plants. My transplanted rhubarb is doing great.
