July 1999
31		medium	Taking the family out for a weekend cruise instead of shrimping.
30		medium	Red pitcher plant along the edge of I-65 in Baldwin County, Al.  They're carnivorous.  The cilia beneath the "roof" and in the throat prevent insects from climbing out.
29		medium	A spectral pattern created just before the sun appeared from behind the cloud.
28		medium	A pair of evening rabbits along Shearwater Drive in Ocean Springs.
27		medium	Three blossoms on the water hyacinths in the garden pond.
26		medium	Another spider web catching the morning rays.
25		medium	Dragonfly on Cynthia's front porch.
24		medium	Dragonfly on Cynthia's front porch.
23		medium	Rosemarie's fossil scallop from Calvert Cliffs.
22		medium	Spider web in the morning sunlight.
21		medium	A fungus that appeared on the side of the house.  It looked like a sea anemone and the spores drifted off in a dense cloud at the slightest breath of air.  The ant near the base is one of the very tiny ones, about 1/16" long.
20		medium	Dogwood leaves with morning sun.
19		medium	The shadow of the duck decoy next to the laser printer falling on the bottom of the door to the study.
18		medium	Early morning sun on poplar trunks and dogwood leaves in the back yard.
17		medium	An azalea leaf giving a preview of fall.
16		medium	A pair of new sweetshrub leaves.  This is a cutting from a plant my grandmother transplanted to their new home when they moved in about 1920.
15		medium	A click beetle with his legs and antennae folded and pretending to be dead.
14		medium	Young nandina leaf.  Isn't it odd that the branches connect along the edges of the leaf?
13		medium	Pine trees in the back yard.
12		medium	And with the fountain turned on.
11		medium	Strobe reflections in the garden pond.
10		medium	Passion flower vine climbing the trellis.
9		medium	Dinner.
8		medium	Fern frond.
7		medium	Oaxaca mermaid at Cathy's house.
6		medium	What do you see?
5		medium	A spectral pattern from the stairway at the office.  The light fixture in the entry caused it.
4		medium	A lucky shot with in macro mode with the strobe.  The moth was about an inch long.  It was attracted to a bit of very ripe banana applied to a pine tree.  (It's an old lepidopterist's trick.)
3		medium	The ant managed to bushwhack the moth while it was perched on the pine tree that rises through the deck.
2		medium	A magnolia leaf with raindrops.
1		medium	I know that the focus/depth of field is bad; it was a hand-held shot.  But, can anyone tell me what the red fluid is?  He didn't look damaged, but do granddaddy longlegs spiders have red blood?
