My weekend didn't exactly go as planned. I had planned to do some shooting in Williamsburg, but the monsoon put a stop to that. 4" of rain in Wmsburg, 7" at my mother-in-laws house in Hampton. Bummer, not much to do but stay dry and do some shooting around the house.

We did get a visit from some of the wildlife. Mother-in-law feeds them all the time so they are nearly tame. Popup LinkTurkey 1 Popup LinkTurkey 2 Popup LinkTurkey 3Turkey 3 stepped back as I fired and almost fell off the railing.  For the turkey shots BTW I was standing on the deck with them.Popup LinkTurkeys & Squirrel Popup LinkTurkeys & deer

Even got a visit from a Raven  Popup LinkRaven And found a wasp nest next to the garage Popup LinkWasp nest

Caught an afternoon nap and woke up to find a break between storms that allowed me to take a walk to the swamp for a few shots.

    After the storm 7 was my favorite. You could still see the thunderheads off in a distance past the houses

    I loved this post. My three year old sat next to me as I viewed the photos and had very excited comments. Thanks for making lemonade out of your lemon of a day.

    After the storm 2 is wonderful. I liked the squirrel running for his life, too.

    Pyro, Paulamouse is using symbolism. The squirrel running symbolizes the terror of the mice who look at this website. (They think of us as cheese-terrorists). The turkeys symbolize photographers as a whole. The mouse is there...you just had to look for it. (By the way, this bs'ing did me well in college lit/english classes.)
