I threw my back out the other day so thanks to the drugs the doctor has me on, I am limited to the yard. Amazing what you can find in your own yard.

    Very nice set of photos. I love the first one and glad you ID'd the Green Leaf Hoppers because I had taken a shot of one yesterday and had no clue what it was.

    Thanks guys,
    I think the wasp was eating some sort of caterpillar. I was quite shocked that he took off and flew away with it. Those little wings generate a lot of lift!

    Skippy,
    No, just a minor tear in a mussel that caused all the mussels in my right side to try and compensate. I already feel much better.
