On the Balcony – Magnolia
On the Balcony – Peeling Paint
While I really like the textures, and the contrast between the light and shade I really must do something about getting this painted.

On the Balcony – Tree in the meadow
I’ve been taking pictures of this tree for years – in all seasons. On this particular evening the light from the setting sun was gorgeous.

On the Balcony – Gypsy
My cat, Gypsy is a real house cat. Generally she hates going outside and if you take her out will run right back into the house. However, like my dog Harley and myself she seems to enjoy the balcony. She comes out frequently and sometimes stays for quite some time. I don’t take all that many pictures of Gypsy (don’t know why) so it’s quite rare. And it’s even more rare because she’s outside.

On the Balcony – A Bee Encounter
I was sitting on the balcony outside the bedroom when this bee flew up. It was quite persistent – never getting too close and never too far away. I went to get a camera thinking that by the time I got back it would have gone, but no it was still there. Every time I moved my camera it would dart to the side, but never going more that a couple of feet away. A few times another bee would get close to me and the first one would chase it away. I guess the old Dale fascination was at work – at least with bees
