Took a trip to Asheville, NC recently. We were there about 10-14 days too early for peak fall colors but we still enjoyed our visit just the same. Had a chance to go to Chimney Rock State Park. It was the perfect day. You could see for miles. NC has many waterfalls. We had the…
I was walking along minding my own business when I heard a “Who”. When I looked up high into the oak tree I saw this great looking Owl. The Great Horned Owl. I was able to taken a few shots and then let him/her alone. I love getting a good image and then leaving them…
A friend of my has a boat dock with an Osprey next 20 feet from the dock. You can get close enough to watch and take images without being too close and upsetting the birds. This day, I was lucky to be there where their dinner arrived. I love how the wings are fully open…
#TGIF Is that #friday breaking through? Nope. The sun. Just a quick post to say- “Enjoy your weekend” This was a 3 exposure HDR image combined into 1.
Happy New Year to all of our family and friends. May 2018 be a GREAT year for everyone!
The Osprey hawk visited today and sat and posed for me. I love the detail in his/her feathers. Also I love the death stare. There are 3 Osprey that fly around in our area. This one sat while the other 2 were flying high above. This was taken with Canon 70D with Canon 100-400mm II…
I took this image today at the Selby Gardens in Sarasota, FL. I think it has a weird vibe to it. Almost like it was for a horror story or movie. If you stare at her long enough she will look up at you. No…really. LOL. Taken with Canon 70D with a Tamron 16-300mm lens,…
Recently, I was out in my garden taking some macro shots of some plants, when I had a visitor. From out of the bushes came the green monster, the HULK. He was huge. Look how he towers over the mushrooms. And he was fast. I only got off this one image and then he was…
We, myself and my family, are so lucky to live just minutes from one of the best beaches in the US, Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, FL. I love taking sunset images. I like it even more when there are a few clouds to add the little extra to the image. Nothing tonight but…
The local Osprey hawk came by this morning with breakfast (a fish). He/she likes to sit on the edge of the roof outside our bedroom. I wish it wasn’t so cloudy. This would’ve looked great against a blue sky showing off the feathers. Image was taken with Canon 70D and Canon 100-400mm L II zoom.
