“Today was a good day. I played peek-a-boo with a photographer.”, said the dragonfly.

And a bonus image below because, well, why not? My goal is to make friends with this guy and get a good picture of him before he flies south for the winter.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Creepy – African Painted Dog – Photography
08/17/2015I’m not sure whether this is creepy or just downright scary. As creepy or scary as some might find this picture, the really scary thing is, this is another endangered species. Pretty soon we’ll be the only things left on the planet. And that, really creeps me out.

Turtle Thursday – What’s In Your Shell? – Photography
08/13/2015What’s in your wallet shell?
And a bonus image below since the guy above was a little camera-shy, slipping under the water too quickly, making my only opportunity a rather long distance photo.

Sandals Beneath Our Feet
Most of the time, for most of us, but not always, things like these are immediately beneath our feet. Like old friends they’re comfortable to be with, have seen some miles with us, have many more miles to go and have more than a few stories to tell.

Green Heron Looking Up
Here’s a not often seen angle of a green heron. I was standing under a tree at the edge of the pond looking around the pond for the heron which, once spotting me and the camera, had just flown away – as was the usual game he played. When I looked up, the green heron was in the tree above me calmly looking down and a second one in the next tree. Go figure.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Inspiration – Photography
08/01/2015
Inspiring Hummingbird Named Norm
What’s my inspiration? This is sort of like Muse II. I didn’t do very well discovering an inspirational muse. I’m not going to do well with this one. But the answer is everything and nothing.
Everything, because everything has a story to tell, something to learn. Nothing because, once everything is inspirational there’s no differentiation between inspirational and not inspirational – neither exists without the other. Inspiration just becomes the new norm.

Turtle Thursday – Yellow-bellied Slider and Child? – Photography
07/30/2015Look in the water just in front of the log (click on the image to enlarge).
My best guess for both is yellow-bellied slider. Although, they’re a bit out of their range here.

07/26/2015Oysters have pearls, pine cones have this.
While looking for a unique angle to photograph this pine cone up close, I noticed something twinkling at me.
