I decided to try to shoot some of the birds on the feeders at my mother and dad's place today.  I think I need to set up a tripod and just sit on the patio quietly because every time I moved they flew off.  I did get this yellow finch who came to eat, but saw me.  He did come back, but I was inside and took this through the window.  This is a pansy from my neighbors that caught my eye the way the sun was shining on it.  As I took this picture of the iris I noticed the tiny insect resting in its shadow.  We had a very big downpour yesterday evening and shot this
rose drooping with water just as the sun came out.
