Oh come to the church in the wildwood. The darling buds of May -- er, June. There was even a sign telling what this flower is, but I didn`t pay attention. Light as a . . . A tastefully decorated office.

June 2, 2005
Out for a morning jog. Strike up the band. Dayton with ducks. On the waterfront. Okay, a park ranger really would have reason to wonder why somebody might take this picture.

What all the best-dressed bugs are wearing this season. Bloomy thing. Oreo`s habitat is slowly being turned into a parking lot (see May 10), but s/he is still nesting. It`s time to play the music, it`s time to light the lights. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. PSALM 150:6

June 4, 2005
No doubt Snapple Corporate Headquarters will take immediate action. One step at a time. Part of my ongoing series of studies of raspberry tea (see April 8 and December 12). Am I in the way? `Those wonderful people out there in the dark.` Norma Desmond in `Sunset Boulevard` [Married two weeks and they`re still holding hands!]

This bee nibbled off a piece of the rose petal, and then flew away with it clutched in its legs . . . . . . leaving this odd gash. These berries are almost buried. Good to the last drop. This might have been just another ugly backyard scene, if it weren`t for the swan.

June 6, 2005
Our Lady of Fatima, with fish. You are here. Textures of the Schuster Center. Flag Day approaches. Of course it`s genuine. Everything on the Internet is real.

June 7, 2005
There`s plenty more where that came from. You might think it looks creepy, but I was actually sitting there when it crawled out. The crucial moment. The moment past. Guess what just happened.

June 8, 2005
I do a lot of this. You are here. Experiment in depth of field. Spring is over for this one . . . . . . but just beginning for this one.

June 9, 2005
Gravestones from an 1850 Jewish settlement. The memory of the righteous is a blessing. PROVERBS 10:7 `It`s just a flesh wound.` What`s lurking behind that petal? Nearly fell in a pond for this one.

June 10, 2005
Pigeon under glass. Flotation device. Hey kids -- count how many times this has appeared in one of my pictures! They may go QUACK when they`re older, but at this stage it`s strictly PEEP. My kind of town.

June 11, 2005
These colors don`t run. Well . . . Walleye. You are here. Violence is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING Mozart`s Quintet for Piano and Winds in E-flat, K. 452.

June 12, 2005
Jardins sous la pluie, by Claude Debussy. Stealth bomber. Outstanding in its field. Out sitting in his field. Fading memory.

June 13, 2005
A porthole is a window. A portal is a door. A door is ajar. [Stop me, before I pun again.] Excavation at the U.D. Ghetto has uncovered beer kegs from the 1870s. Stained glass in the Chapel of the Marianist Martyrs. Note the blue glass . . . . . . and now note the blue girl. Oh gross! There`s a heron my river.

Water is always more interesting when it`s moving. The bright one in the family. Signs of civilization in the wilderness. Signs of civilization in the wilderness. Time to shave those legs.

June 15, 2005
As seen on TV: The Green Hornet. You can witness a miracle every morning if you`re out of bed by sunrise. Construction workers looked on, bewildered by me (or perhaps embarrassed for me). Not bewildered or embarrassed -- just annoyed. Time for a tune-up.

June 16, 2005
A nice place to sit and read, if it weren`t for the guy with the camera. I prefer sugar cones. Come on in, the pool`s fine. Got to find my corner of the sky. Who doesn`t?

June 17, 2005
Better than April 6th. Better than June 11th. Slightly better than last June 26. Maybe in a few months, I`ll shoot this one better. There`s a new sushi restaurant in town.

June 18, 2005
This painting goes with any color scheme, and it`s only $500. I saw Glen, but didn`t see Helen. In another setting, the maple leaf would look green. I had to spend the day in court. There is always some uncertainty when taking pictures, but this factor is enhanced when traveling at 65MPH.

June 19, 2005
`Just try to get one past me!` You can witness a miracle every evening if you`re not watching TV at sunset. Red-winged blackbird [Agelaius phoeniceus]. Astronomers watched breathlessly as comet YRT1983-D plunged into the Antaris Nebula. Someday I`m really going to fall in.

June 20, 2005
I hate to blow my own horn. No, I didn`t put it there. Okay, I admit -- in this one, I did put the clouds there. I haven`t got the patience (or the eyesight). Gimme da rock!

June 21, 2005
Summer solstice: the rising sun lines up perfectly with the telephone pole in the alley. By taking the Virtual Campus Tour, students can view all the university buildings right on their computer screens. Although it`s still nice to see the campus in person. Dat ol man river, he must know sumthin, but he don`t say nuthin. OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II Nessie visits America.

A lot has happened since 1801. Angel of the Morning. ` I am like a brook that makes no effort to overcome obstacles in its way.` BLESSED WILLIAM JOSEPH CHAMINADE What a fortunate coincidence that the sun is ninety-three million miles away: close enough to warm and nourish us, but not to burn us up. Tender is the night, the benediction of the neon light. JACKSON BROWNE

June 23, 2005
Life presents us with many twists and turns. I`m a rambler. Web site. Feels like the sun is ninety-TWO million miles away today. Shot with urgency as the sun set behind the nearby trees.

June 24, 2005
A very large stone wall at sunrise. `What a night!` Mascot of the Oregon District. What`s behind the green door? Foul ball.

June 25, 2005
You can`t have an Irish dancing competition without a fiddle. Well, an accordian is okay too. A blazing hot day ended with a violent thunderstorm. `Don`t eat those,` a passerby warned me. The same location as June 16, 2004.

June 26, 2005
The Chipmunk Adventure. Birds know (as do some mischievous boys) that monarchs are not good to eat. There ain`t no way to hide your lyin` eyes. THE EAGLES Can you see it? I cannot believe the city of Miamisburg has 48 fire engines.

June 27, 2005
Noticed it last night, came back this morning for a picture. My neighborhood, for better or worse. That was some storm Saturday night. Compare to October 11. Whatever happened to black?

June 28, 2005
Tree vee. My neighborhood, for better or worse, Part II. White cat on stairs stares. Ankle-level beauty. Lunch today was just a salad.

June 29, 2005
Morning has broken (and so has her arms). This Wright brother never flew; alas, he never walked. The Jets and the Sharks will be along later for the rumble. A nice view, but if I turn around . . . . . . this is what I see.

June 30, 2005
A passerby asked, `Did you buy this house?` The early bee gets the pollen. A place in the sun. A dragonfly about the size of a small bird. The daily afternoon thunderstorm.
