Image Gallery: A Few Random Things
A few days ago, Sarah and I got home from... something. I can't remember what it was. There was a beautiful sunset and I decided to take a few pictures of it. Unfortunately, most of the pictures didn't turn out so great, but I liked one of them a lot.
Afterwards, I thought it would be nice to lay down on the hammock we recently put up between a couple of trees. As I was laying there, a hummingbird came to rest on one of the branches right above the hammock. It didn't seem distracted by my guitar playing, so I thought I'd take some pictures. Unfortunately again, the sun was setting and I couldn't get many good pictures. But, I got a couple of decent shots. It's strange seeing a hummingbird not flying anywhere.
Days later, I heard a pretty loud buzzing going on in the living room of our house. Our neighbor is having some construction work done at his house, so I thought it was just the buzzing of some tools that I was hearing through an open window in the living room. After a few minutes of listening, it sounded like the buzzing was coming from inside the house. Sure enough, I go into the living room and there was a GIANT bee covered in soot from our fireplace trying to fly around, but getting nowhere. Since I don't like the idea of a giant bee in our house and since I didn't want to clean the bee up to help it out, I stomped it with a shoe. Since it was also on the carpet, the bee didn't really get crushed, but the impact of the shoe certainly did enough to kill it. For some reason, I thought I should take some pictures.

Dead Bee
This thing was about an inch long. I should have take a picture with something else to show the scale.
