1. Daily Photos

My Task At Hand

My version of "Daily Photos" will be ever-so-typical of myself: 'A Different Little Twist'!! I'm using this gallery as an impetus: one of my present goals is to add several photos per day into this website. As I'm doing so, I will choose one of the photos to include in this 365 day project! (If I experience a difficult time choosing which image to use as my 'Daily Photo', I'll add the other choice(s) into my Contender gallery) Occasionally, there will be days when the photo was actually taken on that particular day! This will probably be governed by available time and my creative spirit! The photos within this gallery are available to order as prints and other merchandise; click on the 'buy' icons. I will appreciate any comments and/or critiques; click on the 'add comments' on the bottom left, and please include your name! You can also vote on the photos, if you choose; drag your pointer onto the enlarged image on the right; a box will appear on the top right which allows the voting process. Just click either yea-or-nay! Thank you for visiting this Gallery, and I hope you enjoy the photos presented here! © Copyright 2009 Lady Kates Photography

Lil' Rhett, looking for Lil' Scarlett! 
 
 I really enjoyed my Hummingbirds this evening!!
 
Mr. Rhett here was a very willing model; I had a hard time choosing which poses to use as my DP, and another to include in my other DP gallery. 

There is a close-up portrait of Rhett in my Contender gallery!

Some of the other shots will be included in my Hummingbird gallery.

 I might not get to do that tonight; this is one of the few--and certainly the longest period of time I have been able to access the internet since I posted yesterday's DP.
    September 14

We've been mostly without internet for two days; I tried to post a DP and catch up on comments last night, but apparently that was not in the plan!
Thank you for the wonderful Birthday greetings!  I've had a great B.D. weekend!! (Actually, I usually try to get it to last about a month!  So far, so good!!)

I'm only posting this as my DP in hopes that someone can help us to identify whatever it is??!!  Neither my husband nor I have ever seen one before.  It had 'slithered and slimed'  up from our lawn onto the sidewalk. The amount of snail-like slime that remains on its path amazed me; how can something of only that size secrete so much substance (which is very sticky)? 
In a completely elongated state, this 'thing' is the length of my husbands hand, from wrist to tip of index finger (that's my index finger in the photo). We placed a piece of brown paper bag in front of the direction it was headed and it did end up totally on the paper.  Within minutes thereafter, it secreted a mass of reddish-colored substance from its middle.  Its traveling movement is like a combination of snail and snake and is able to lift its head like a snake and scrunch up its body somewhat like a snail.

We'll certainly appreciate any information y'all can offer!
(This is kind of a tough one to 'Google'!!)

Update: Thanks to the information from Hershy and Shelly, I was able to do a touch of research to appease my curiosity! I've included some results in my Insects and other 'things' gallery.
    September 12  Happy Birthday to me!! 

I had a satisfactory practice session with my hummingbirds last evening!!

I've included two more choices in  my Contender gallery.

I've also included several more images into  my Hummingbird gallery.
