There are always lots of insects in the garden -- especially when one gardens organically. We brought in a large basket of tomatoes yesterday and brought a few creepy crawlies with them.
I know the quality isn't good, because I can't get close enough with my camera, but here's a tomato-colored bug with a chevron on it's back, just like a Box Elder Bug, on the side of the basket.
If you look closely her at the handle of the cookie jar, you'll see a little tomato worm who crawled all the way along the kitchen counter overnight to go to the largest tomato it had ever seen!
This is a creepy caterpillar that was on our barn door.
I'm including this picture because I like it! It was hazy last Friday morning and the sun was beautiful through the haze. Of course, I couldn't do it justice through the screens on the back porch and only an idiot would have gone outside to be carried off by the mosquitoes!
On to animal foolishness. . . we've known for a while that Turner has a sweet tooth. However, we stupidly left my birthday cake unattended and he licked the icing from one side, in a surgical strike, never eating a single crumb of cake!
And here's the culprit, pretending to be innocent. This one's for you, Charlie!

I miss him!!!!
these pictures are great! i especially love the one of the hazy friday morning. beautiful.
if you have a macro setting on your camera, you might want to try to use that the next time you want to shoot something really close up. it has worked well for me.
I have a macro setting but, of course (being in a hurry), tried to use it without reading the directions and it didn't work!
