Snapshot Saturday?

These are a couple of my favorite photos from my hike on Mt. Le Conte. The rockers on the porch of the little cabin were very inviting and we just happend to spot the hole in the rock on the way down.

Photo Phriday II

You can see I haven't been very consistent with Photo Phriday so I thought I would post several to kind of catch up. All of these were taken at home.
The first is of storm clouds on the eastern horizon just as the sun was setting. This storm stayed to the east of us but it did provide some beautiful photo op's.
The second was a much needed drink of water for the yard and garden from an earlier brief storm.
Next is a shot of the sun flowers planted by the birds who visit the feeder. I'm amazed that the flower heads seem to get bigger every day.
For weeks we kept wondering where the humming birds were. The feeders were in place but we just didn't seem to have any visitors. Finally they started showing up but I'm not having any luck so far getting pictures with the Bird Cam. This is not a very good picture but I was just excited to see the little fellow.
Sandy caught this frog in the front yard and he posed for a picture.
This house finch seemed to be having a hard time flying and at first we thought it was hurt. It let us get very close and I think it was just a baby still getting used to its wings.
The bees seem to like the sun flowers.
And last, a little bounty from the garden. This is my first crop ever of beets and the first time I've ever pickled beets. We are looking forward to the taste test.
