The Parting Shot for April 18, 2012 11

The better to see you with, my dear….

“I made this image at Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, Florida, this past spring. There had been no rain in the river valley for quite a while, and the waters were at drought level. I found this guy in a shallow depression in the riverbed, along with some trapped fish, and knew I had a good chance for an evening shot with flash.”

The Parting Shot for April 8, 2012 22

I have been seeing some incredible photographs by some other bloggers of bees on flowers. Being able to see the pollen clearly has absolutely fascinated me. So I thought I would try my hand at it. This is the best I took. Not near as good as what I’ve been seeing on other sites… like yours, Helen! But I’m pleased for my first time.

Post-publishing note:  Well… you’re getting The Parting Shot a wee bit early today.
Last night I scheduled this to publish for tonight’s parting shot – and forgot that I have to schedule in military time.
So, I meant 10 PM but in reality I scheduled it for 10 AM. Oops……

Nazi Zombie is considering having Hitler’s brains as an appetizer.

Update April 8th, 2012:  Another blogger has kindly informed me that what I call the
“zombie”
is actually the “Red Skull,” a Marvel comic book character.
The Red Skull is a sickly wannabe soldier during
World War II who
gets an injection that turns him into a super-warrior.
