Well decided last weekend to take some time, my dog and i, and go to our vacation home on the ohio river, got there, put the boat in and did some good saugeye and walleye fishing. managed to get a few pics in too!
here is a mantis i caught and put on a rock for easier pic taking!

here is some pictures of himming birds, we have hundreds literally, probably more and 10 feeders around the house, we love watching them, but they are very aggressive towards each other and very territorial, here , where you see a couple of them they are actually fighting!

and here are some flower shots

and of course my dog

all pictures were taken with my 150 mm lens!
