Flooding in Ben Lomond

 Forest backyard in Ben Lomond.

While normally placid, love creek overflows when it's raining.

I saw this wasp tackling a cricket, so decided to take a picture. Moments late the wasps had killed the cricket and flown away with it.

                                          Western Grebe

These are some rather interesting birds. The grebes feet are so specialized, it can hardly walk at all.

Sunsets

A couple of photos that I thought were cool.
