You are absolutely correct, Douglass. They like to drill into my house! And they make perfectly round holes too. Natures drill bit. Judging by their name I would wish them back to Virginia. :wink: Based on the green eyes ans the characterist black "bald spot" on thorax, this is most likely a female Common Eastern Carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_carpenter_bee
Thanks for the link. It was the green eyes that made me pull out the camera to begin with.

Very nice photos of some beautiful fall colors. Really like that sign in the last one too. :wink:

I almost didn't stop here because it was "just" cows and they were very far away. Then the rising sun crested the ridgeline. I felt like I'd won the lottery :)

Several of these bumble bees are presently visiting my butterfly bush. Quite the disconcerting buzz when you get in close.

Hey Billy, I do like the pop of your HDR image but am wondering if masking out the windshield might improve the image? Just a thought.

I went out every morning in search of critters. The light was disappointing since the sun doesn't crest the coastal range until later. These were taken with a higher ISO.
Please feel free to offer suggestions.

. . . Caused FOUR-SCHOOL LOCKDOWN
Avast! You just cant be too safe these days, maties, which is why officials at a rural North Carolina school district locked down four public schools after somebody spotted an elementary school teacher dressed as a pirate.

Guess our executives just stepped out... But I'm sure they'll be back.
Guess they read the sign and left because they were all officers. :-)
Really like your PP on this one.

Very nice Linda. The cap cloud formation is really something to see.

These are great shots! I was watching a pair fishing at the beach a couple of weeks ago and thought it was so cool how they shake themselves off in mid-air after a miss. They are such awesome birds. Thanks for sharing these.

Cosmo's on the beach ...
How big he truly is vs how big he thinks he is.
Great perspective and story in this photo.

A few pictures I took In Alaska last summer. Hopefully they measure up.
The images measure up just fine. You might consider selecting "store original" when you post so the photos can be downloaded in a larger size for viewing. Sometimes the small photo comes short of showing off the photo's finer details.
Welcome to UHH and congratulations on taking the plunge.
