31		medium	Seasonal treats.
30		medium	Morning light through a water hyacinth leaf.
29		medium	Morning shadows on one of the bird boxes.
28		medium	The evaporator of the little refrigerator in the office.  (It's been an odd day.)
27		medium	Grapevine leaf on the arbor over the deck.
26		medium	Bug in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
25		medium	He/she was taking the morning sun on a hyacinth leaf in the garden pond.
24		medium	Textile made by the Hmong people in the mountains of Vietnam.
23		medium	From Castine, Maine in August.  It's directed toward zebra mussels, not the tasty type.
22		medium	The road along the east brow of Lookout Mountain.
21		medium	A leaf in the creek.
20		medium	If you don't see the bear and the goat, you have a deeply seated psychological problem that will make it difficult for you to obtain full-time employment.
19		medium	The spray head on the garden hose.
18		medium	Another view of a Gulf Fritillary caterpillar, munching a leaf on a passion flower vine.  Most of them have already formed chrysalises.

16		medium	Backlit cicada shell with lens flare.
15		medium	Backlit cicada shell.
14		medium	A cicada shell, shed as the larva emerges as an adult.  It was on the underside of the bench on the deck.  I flipped the image to avoid excessive neck bending.
13		medium	A joint in the back fence and a wisteria vine.
12		medium	A pair of beetle grubs that were devouring a log in the wood pile.   Note the diagonal bracing inside the body segments.  .
11		medium	Detail of a plastic flyswatter.
10		medium	Shrimp nets with the mandatory turtle excluders, or teds.  Some of the shrimpers don't care for them and refer to them as "turtle extruders."  Could be a vocabularly problem or could be a comment on the law that requires them, Ocean Springs.
9		medium	I believe this is called a robber fly; they're predatory.  I've seen them carrying huge grasshoppers.   This one was warming up on the steps to the deck one morning in mid-August.
