This past weekend Deb and I went to Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain Georgia to go for a bike ride and do a little photo and video shooting at the Butterfly Day Center (see my Callaway Gardens Butterflies // Friday Feet). Generally when you are shooting butterflies in an enclosed area you will need some [...]
Did I mention we have some crazy, very aggressive eating Ruby Throat Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) here at the house? These little guys are not in the least bit shy, and will act more like a hungry dog if you let their food run dry. These images were taken as Deborah was trying to put their [...]
Well, I was so busy yesterday I didn’t actually get to do my normal daily post, so this is a Tuesday/Wednesday version. We spent most of Tuesday in town doing all the various chores we normally do when we take our orders into USPS.
Tuesday is also the day I continue with my guitar lessons, [...]
The image of the day is an image that is pretty much a symbol of lower Alabama area, the Golden Eagle. More than a mascot, this is a magnificent bird to see in flight. This is another photo that was taken at the Auburn University Raptor Center during a photography shoot. There were [...]
Sometimes when photographing wildlife you just have to be in the right place at the right time. This is no small owl, the Great Horned Owl is quite large, and their flight is so silent that I have seen them fly across a large pasture, right by my head, and never knew they were [...]
This image of the day is a little different. This is a Coypu or Nutria, sort of like a beaver with a cat-like tail.
The coypu or nutria (Myocastor coypus) is a large, herbivorous, semi-aquatic rodent and the only member of the family Myocastoridae. Originally native to temperate South America, it has since been introduced [...]
Something about spiders and spider webs makes for some neat subjects. Add a little morning mist or dew and they really light up. Â Macro photography is something I really like as well, and the combination of dew on the web and its size made for a great macro photography opportunity. This image of [...]
The first time we saw dolphins from right here in our slip Deborah and I were very excited. Now, they seem to be here every time we come, but not like they were today. Today, a pair came into the marina (which is a dead end), went all the way to the end, [...]
This is the famous Delicate Arch from Arches National Park. We visited there around 1998 and again in 2002 when I was able to take some of these images. The park is an incredible place. It is hard to even get a perspective of the park from an image like this. [...]
Today started off productive and early with work on my editor blog and a few images. I am almost finished now copying all my images over to my new HDD and I can’t wait until the last disc is copied tomorrow. I think I have now copied about 300-400 GB’s of images over [...]
