Hey, whaddya know? It's another mammoth photo post.

This morning as Kaylee and I set out for our walk I noticed this spider web between two trees at the edge of Mom and Dad's property. I managed to get a straight-on shot of it, but for some reason I liked this edgewise look at it better:



When we returned a little while later, the spider was busy adding more spirals to the inside of its web:







And a web that caught my eye as Kaylee and I took our afternoon walk:



During our jaunts up into the woods over the past couple of days I noticed these ferns, which grew in a shape unlike most of the ferns I see around. After a little research, I'm pretty certain it's a Northern Maidenhair Fern:





A closer look:



I think this is a type of wild rose:



Newts are starting to turn up on the forest floor:



Amazing how different the coloring can look depending on the light; the first one was taken when I was home a little after 1, while I shot this one around 5:15 or so:



Just a visual I liked:



A chipmunk snacking on a sunflower seed by Mom's outdoor waterfall:



The Indigo Bunting made a brief appearance while I sat out on the porch:





And the customary selection of grosbeak photos:







Finally, Kaylee. First, a couple of shots I took at lunch; I threw the ball, then quickly raised my camera and hoped for the best:



She can still grab some serious air:



Back on top of the hot tub later in the day:





And to close things out, a shot I took at lunchtime, as I particularly liked how she looked in the sunshine:
