Raleigh Downtown Skyline

Raleigh, North Carolina downtown skyline. ( As seen on the Fonville Morisey blog July 2011 )

This is my favorite view, taken from the Boylan Ave. bridge on a beautiful Spring morning.

Bee and Flower

When I was taking this flower, I actually didn't see the bumblebee inside, but I heard him!
Look how he is just loaded down with pollen! Amazing!

Ibis

The Ibis Pond at Pinckney Island nature preserve at Hilton Head is like being at Chicago O'hare airport. They just take off and land constantly!

Blue Heron

Look what we found while looking for Alligators.
This blue heron was even more striking sitting on a branch than standing in the water.

Lizard of the Day

This one's for Luci.

Here's your favorite lizard. He was very bold and determined to show off when we were in Hilton Head at the Discovery Museum and Honey Horn Plantation.

Dragonfly

Since I didn't get to it yesterday, here's one I really enjoyed getting, and I admit it was pretty much an accident that it turned out as a silhouetted image.
This dragonfly was posing for me like he knew he was special.

Baynard Ruins

Little known historical place to visit on Hilton Head Island is the Stoney-Baynard plantation ruins site.
Very interesting construction, setting is in the midst of the coastal forest in Sea Pines.
Worth the side trip
