Helloooooo… I love taking photos and making photo creations so I have decided to start a photo blog. Everything from flowers to travel, animals, hummingbirds, skylines and panoramic photos. Any photos listed on my blog I have taken and are mine unless labeled otherwise. No photos can be used for commercial use or promotional use without my concent. reblogging is ok. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-24174487-1’]); _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]); (function() { var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true; ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘http://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();Tumblr (3.0; @tocshadow)http://tocshadow.com/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx4qvf3NVv1qjoc25o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>We have a couple of Cardinals hanging around now.  </p>http://tocshadow.com/post/15130624908http://tocshadow.com/post/15130624908Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:21:15 -0600Cardinalsbirdssnapshotsphotos<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltukc2PxPo1qjoc25o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Up close and personal with a <strong>Black and Yellow Garden Spider!</strong></p>http://tocshadow.com/post/12089178519http://tocshadow.com/post/12089178519Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:43:14 -0500Black and Yellow Garden Spiderinsect eyesspiderphoto<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltuk7gNVCJ1qjoc25o1_r2_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Another visitor at my back door!
