Today was uncharacteristically warm--in the low 80s. The bees were ravishing the cherry blossoms!
I am under Oliver snapping his portrait! (He found a cozy spot on top of a pillow.)
I'm under this airplane taking a photo. See me reflected? (Although for vanity's sake, I must say the reflection does make me look a little wider and rather square.)

a city under the cliffs! Mesa Verde was home to the ancestral Pueblo people from about AD 600-1300.
Chihuly glass is so beautiful! I was privileged to see a major installation at the Desert Botanical Garden Museum in Phoenix Arizona in April 2009
Carolina wrens made an igloo-like nest in a pot of parsley on my deck last May.

Very nice pictures, I love that beautiful glass installation, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteUnder is a good 'U' word for today's assignment. I haven't attempted to do my Alphabe-Thursday homework yet and I just don't know if I'll get around to it or not. :( BTW, I loved the photos accompanying your post.
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures, you did a good job. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome close up of the bee! And I love your reflection :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Love the colorful glass. But I wonder what Oliver must have been thinking about you while you were snapping that photo. Sometimes I think I'd like to be able to read their minds, while other times, It's probably better that we can't!
ReplyDeleteLovely *U* post – great captures from *u*nusual angles!
ReplyDeleteAnd Oliver is adorable!
Have a great weekend,
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
Wonderful photography for U ~ Under ~ lots of great nature shots ~ and your cat is adorable ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteThat's a great zoom of the bee and Oliver is, as always, totally cute! I remember the wren post (but apparently I didn't comment for whatever reason -- bad me!) and I've been to Mesa Verde -- very interesting and amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat U post :)
Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, this is an extra special treat for our "U" word day. Great!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot pick a favorite, they are all soooo good. I am glad you did the
Pueblo people picture. I never remember them unless there is a picture.
Being under the airplane was very creative, as was being under your pretty
cat, Oliver. Thank you again, Jim

wow - that close up of the bee is amazing! Great photos, as always! {:-D
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of Mesa Verde! I need to plan another trip there soon...
ReplyDeleteLoved your under post
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool nest! I like your vantage point on these photos...
ReplyDelete=)
Chihuly, yes! Great job with putting together a fun mix of photos as always. It's so encouraging to see bees out again.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post featuring UNDER!
ReplyDeleteWe were both at the DBG the same year! I loved the boat with all the glass orbes!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see a bee!! In my world we wait for sunshine and flowers ..still live with the threat of a snow freeze!
Loved these images...especially your portrait of Oliver! Purr-Zzzz
You always get the best shots. What a great eye you have.
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting shots, but I love the glass!
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are amazing! I wish I didn't have a tin eye when it comes to photography.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are magnificent! I love how you captured the bee :)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in my photo archives I have a photo of Sammy sitting on a dining room chair under the table :)
Oliver is adorable and that glass is cool!

My favorite is you in the planes hubcap!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they call them hubcaps on planes.
I love your perspective on the glass shot, too.
And.
Okay.
I love them all.
Sigh!
Thanks for sharing your fUN PHOTOS WITH US!

Love all of these, but would love to have seen the Chihuly glass up close in person!!
