I had been photographing otters all day. When we arrived at my friends father's home I got out of the car and saw this tree. The light was fading and I had my 400mm lens on my camera. I grabbed it and took this photo. Then I switched to a wider lens and took another couple of shots before the light was too low to shoot. I liked this one the best and it's the only shot I have on that lens.
Every year at Christmas the stores do their windows displays. I have to wait until 11pm to photograph them so that I can stand in the middle of the street.
The bravery of this flower to stand alone in a field full of Poppies
It took several attempts to get this shot. Those sandpipers are quick.
This the door latch to an old railroad car. I love all the textures in this shot.
I like showing the detail in small plants. This flower is the size of my fingernail. I wasn't good at the floral sciences, so I don't know what these stems are called.
It was an overcast day, raining and we sat there and waited for this bird to take off. After about an hour he started moving around and then BAM he took off. If I hadn't panned with him I would have never got this shot. I like that his wings are blurry but his head is sharp. One of my favorite shots. Maybe because it made standing in the rain for an hour worth it.
I was very lucky to be invited to spend some time in the cage with the Lemurs. Hint: Take a gallon bag of grapes with you! They are amazing animals, very expressive, so soft and did I mention they like grapes?
And still another cloud.
Another shot of the same bird
I am sure he is the class clown in the group
Cool clouds looking south
I was practicing shooting birds and finding the correct shutter speed to freeze them in flight. I finally found it on this guy.
This shows just how individual their personalities are. The lemur in the background just ate too many grapes, while the guy looking at the camera/bag of grapes wants more. You might want to check out your buddy first.
This was better that you can see his eye.
These two birds both had nests in the same tree. I was shooting a documentary and kept hearing this shreeking outside. This little lady was keeping this hawk away from her babies.
The attack continues
Sweetest dog ever. It makes my day everytime I go to visit her. She will lick the ears off the side of your head.
To the victors goes the King of the Tree title.
More clouds from my trip down Hiway 395
It's amazing when you see this entire filed of Poppies, but then when you get up close they are even more beautiful.
Just another shot of the hundreds I took to get a few good ones.
I had stopped just north of Bridgeport California to shoot the mountains with the green farmland. I had just setup and this guy flew up and started posing.
