4 more pictures above! Today I didn't have any plans for my Picture of the Day so I just popped outside and started looking around. I think I wasn't as inspired as I could be--the truth is that I was really hungry and that's not the time to be taking pictures--so I took about 30 pictures before I decided to go home and try again after lunch. However, as I was about to walk into the house, I noticed a splotch on a Zinnia leaf and went over to investigate. OH!! One of my favorite insects, a Cucumber Bug! It was crawling around under a leaf, and I managed to get a couple of pictures before it went around to the other side to hide. "Little bug, you cannot hide from me!" And I took a picture of its shadow too! :D Napoleon Hill (October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970) was an American author in the area of the new thought movement who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies). Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. He became an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach of the average person, were the focal points of Hill's books. Wikipedia: Napoleon Hill

Today was one of those days where nothing turned out as I expected! I had plans of taking pictures of a new flower I found but in the end, I couldn't get the image I wanted! I took so many pictures and finally decided to choose another subject. Just outside we have zillions of tiny Whitlow Grass blossoms, so small you really can just barely see them! I discovered last year that they make a magnificent seed pod, so I thought, "OH! Let's take a picture of one of those!! And I guess that's what I was supposed to be taking pictures of today because of the dozen or so pictures, almost every subject turned out nicely! This is my favorite because of the fun bokeh, but I have another shown below too!
