No real clue what this is, except pretty. But my best guess is a Cattleya orchid.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Vivid – Fireworks (12 Photos) – Photography
06/09/2015
I was surprised in sampling the vivid entries for this week’s challenge that there weren’t many entries for fireworks. Many flowers, but few fireworks. So to help right the world, here are 12 photos from the original light painting application (there’s an app for everything, even if it goes back to the 7th century), fireworks.

New Lens Test – 5 Photos – Photography
06/05/2015
New lens? Needs a test drive. The new guy isn’t exactly a new new lens. He’s still around 30 to 40 years old. I’m hoping experience counts.
Now that that’s done, back to the wine reviews. A word of caution though for your new lens test, don’t do the wine review before the new lens test. Hope you enjoy, either or both.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Great Egret Fish Dinner – On The Way (2) – Photography
06/01/2015On the way back to the car, but before my tired eyes gave out (click here to see the first part of this tale of woe), I caught dinner. Actually, this great egret caught dinner. More precisely, I caught him catching dinner. Technically, I caught the light reflecting off him catching dinner, and his catch. Click on each image to catch a bigger picture of the catch of the catch by catching light caught in a camera.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Great Egret – On The Way – Photography
05/29/2015On the way back to the car, sunburnt, muddy, insect bitten, tired and smelly sweaty, after a day chasing birds like this around lakes and ponds, never really getting as close as I’d like, this great egret decides to return to his favorite fishing spot about 35 feet from where I was walking. He’s a hair, or would it be a feather, out of focus because at that point my old eyes were too tired to work well with my old manual focus lens.

Mr. Mallard
Mr. Mallard walked out of his pond about 15 feet away. I threw him a handkerchief to clean his nose. But he was happy the way it was. Nonetheless, I felt obligated to take his picture.
