Find Me Friday - 10/1

Peekaboo! I see you!!

If you are new this week, all you have to do is post a photo of whatever you want (within reason of course, keep it clean people! ;-) ) and it has to have some element of "peekaboo," "hiding" or "camouflage" in it. Think of one of those hidden pictures where you have to find the hidden images. Or a green frog blending into the green leaf he is sitting on. There are tons of options! Have fun with it!

If you would like to join in, please make sure to link back to my blog and use my button if you like. If I decide your image(s) is/are inappropriate, I have the right to delete your link. Other than that, have fun and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Oh, and I plan on having weekly themes in the future, but if you don't have a photo that falls into the category, you can still participate. And I don't mind if you add this into another Friday blog carnival. As long as you remember to link to me, that is great! Ok, that's all for now, lets see those photos!

Find Me Friday - 9/10

Check out this little guy's camouflage. I found him (her?) on a wooden post when we were at Shawnee State Forest in southern Ohio last weekend. I think it is a type of Fence Lizard, but it looks a bit different than the pics I have found....I did read somewhere that females of certain species can get a red spot before they lay eggs so maybe that's what is going on here? If anyone knows, please inform me! Thanks =)

Purple Caterpillar

I found this strange caterpillar when we were at Shawnee State Forest in southern Ohio this past weekend. I had never seen a purple caterpillar before and had no idea what it was. I looked it up when we got home and found that it seems to be a White-blotched Heterocampa. Apparently they turn purple/pink right before pupating. I learned something new!

Please check out

Find Me Friday - 9/3

I have posted a photo similar to this before, but I just couldn't resist posting this one for Find Me Friday. I love how the toad on the Toad House is peeking through the flowers.

Alien Encounter

A couple days ago I was surprised by this little guy (or lady?). I was taking pictures when Hubby came home for lunch and said "Get the shotgun" lol. Its so funny that such a big guy (he's 6'3") gets so freaked out by a praying mantis!

Please check out

Find Me Friday - 8/27

I love the photo I snapped for this week, it reminds me of the ones I took of Duke when I first started this meme last year. This is Luke peeking through flowers in my flower bed.

Looking at the Sky on Friday - August Sunrise

I was up early enough this morning to see the sunrise so I took advantage of the situation.  Please excuse the power line =) We are surrounded by corn fields this year and it is so neat to see the mist over them, though you can only see it a little in this photo.

Fair Fun

We had a nice time at the fair last week. It was Matthew's first time there. He pretty much slept the whole time =).  Jimmy was in for a special treat, this year they had a little circus "show." There were elephants and camels, ponies and dogs that did tricks. Jimmy could have even touched an elephant, but he was a little unsure. So he just watched. They performed a few neat tricks including this one and one where they stood on their front legs (I wasn't quick enough with the camera for that trick). They even laid down together!

After the circus, Jimmy got to ride a pony. But wait you say, don't you guys have horses?? Well, yes, but they are a little big for Jimmy and he gets a bit worried around them. Not to mention they haven't been ridden in a while. We really need to get a little pony or small horse for Jimmy to be able to ride. He would have a ball! He really enjoyed riding the pony at the fair, he even waved at everyone and he kept patting the pony's neck.  It was so cute!

We didn't stay too long since we had Matthew and it got to be past Jimmy's bedtime real quick, but it was long enough to eat some greasy food, see some farm animals, have some fun and get some homemade ice cream on the way out. Maybe next year Matthew will get to ride a pony too!

Find Me Friday - 8/13

I found this pretty little green moth, called a Wavy-lined Emerald, on my morning glory leaves. I just love how the lines on its wings "blend" with the veins on the leaves its sitting on. Pretty good camouflage =)

Outdoor Wednesday - This Morning

Here are some photos I took this morning, right around our front porch.

A Petunia - it is a trooper! Surviving all this heat and my neglect, poor thing hasn't been watered except for if it has rained (which it has the last 2 days thankfully!)

A neat mushroom on the side of the porch

And last but not least, my favorite right now (I just LOVE this color) a morning glory I have growing on a trellis next to the porch. Gonna need a bigger trellis though...this thing is getting huge!

Thanks for stopping by! For more beautiful Outdoor Wednesday photos please visit A Southern Daydreamer.

Find Me Friday 8/6

Sorry its been a couple weeks, I got a little out of the loop when Matthew was born. Glad to be back though, I was actually able to get out and take some pics around our place this week.

This week we have a Clouded Yellow Butterfly trying to hide on some leaves.
