Bird (on my) Brain
Yesterday I finished my homework early (if 6 PM is early) and then went out with my camera to take some pictures of bees. Like these next few photos:
Raccoon tracks? 
It was really windy, making it difficult to get lots of bee shots, so I wandered a bit farther afield.
Raccoon tracks?I was taking some photos of some flowers when I looked up, and saw my current bird crush, a painted bunting! I took tons of photos. I realize the quality isn't the greatest. But he was relatively far away and I need a better lens. Now that I know where he hangs out, I hope to get some more photos at some point.
And then I went home and made fried okra. All in all, a good day!

Man, that okra looks good! Cornmeal?
Yep, cornmeal and flour.
I pink puffy heart those painted buntings photos and am envious that we don't have those birds around here so I could chase one with a camera too!!
I love the track photo too. All those yellow leaves (petals??) laying around give it a cool graphic quality.
Your okra pic reminds me that I haven't made any fried green tomatoes yet this summer. Must do that!
That painted bunting is so cool.And you have sunflowers down there already? JEALOUS!I love animal tracking.
Fried is the only way I can eat okra-and it sure looks good.
i've never tried fried okra but i think i might like it. a lot. i heart cardinals, they were my favorite bird until i saw that painted bunting! is that really different rainbow colors i see on its back? wonderful.
Yeah, it almost looks like a parrot. Blue head, red belly, and yellowish-green marks on the back. The females are all yellowish-green. You know what they say - every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man! Er, or at least that's what ZZ Top says.
Beautiful painted bunting!! Wow! What a gorgeous bird. Very nice pics too.
I haven't tried okra. I'm not sure I could get it down. But you know, if I had the opportunity to try it, I definitely would.
nice bunting, man!
I luz me some fried okra. MMMMMMM. And I can't make it.
I don't think I've ever seen one of those birds?? Are they common?
It's gorgeous!! And I can't get a pic near a cardinal.. DAMMIT!!
crap - you asked me about that lens. You wouldn't believe my email predicament after the people updated the version of wordpress I'm running. It re-emailed me every comment I've ever had on the blog. hello.
a painted bunting!? wow. those shots are way better than the long distance ones i took of my red-winged blackbird!
