| The Carolina Wren is a bright, cleanly marked little bird who appears at times to be curious as a cat. They flit around nervously and are hard to catch in a decent pose, so when they stop at a perch for a while, the shutter gets to clicking;-) Below are a couple of my favorites so far. |
 |
| This Northern Mockingbird was posed on top of
the Magnolia tree in the early morning sunshine.
|
| We had some early morning fog the last couple
of mornings and the effect on the dandelions was eye-catching. The
first one shows the fog droplets as little bright beads which, to me,
gives a feeling of Christmas
decoration.
|
| I really enjoy playing with the macro lens, and
among the more interesting small creatures to shoot is the Praying
Mantis. These guys are easy to shoot as long as you can get down to
their level.
|
| We had a beautiful Fall season here in North
Carolina but now there aren't many colors left to shoot. I spotted
this Sweet Gum leaf and it obligingly posed for a backlit portrait.
|
| Probably my favorite subject is Grand daughter
Emi. She doesn't sit still too long either, and to compound matters,
has learned to 'pose' for pictures if she knows the camera is pointed her
way. I had the 500mm lens out on the tripod watching for birds when
I thought I would catch her being funny. She made several funny
faces, but in between, I got this shot.
