Happy Easter
(4-8-07)

I found the bird that lays the easter eggs ;).
It's a Lilac-breasted Roller.

Big reflection.
December 2, 2012

This is a shot that I got over at Lake Manawa after the fog really started thinning out. I saw this reflection as I drove by, and immediately had to pull the car over so I could run back to take a few shots. And an eagle even flew over while I was standing out there. Had the wrong lens on though, for a flying eagle shot.

Who goes there.
(8-11-07)

This is a first for me. My first wild owl. When I saw this bird, it was flying off in the distance with a smaller bird harassing it. I thought it might be a Red Tailed Hawk. I made my way over to where it had landed in a tree, and as I got closer, I realized it was a big owl. I'm pretty sure it's a Great Horned Owl.

Pink flower.
(7-31-08)

I'm so excited...I got a water drop reflection. I watered these flowers tonight, and then decided to take a few shots since I didn't have a potd yet. And to my amazement, I saw some reflections.

This certainly isn't as good as I've seen from other people, but it's my first!! So of course I had to post one of the shots I got. I might have to play around with this indoors out of the wind some day.

Along came a spider...
August 20, 2011

I have quite a few of these huge spiders outside my back door. And this one has spun a web right in the doorway. I have to be really careful when I go out with the dogs so I don't run into it. It is in the corner, so as long as I know it's there I can avoid it. There is another huge one on the closeline pole. I hate to take them down, as they do catch and eat the bugs out there. But if I ever actually run into one, I will be hugely freaked. As long as I can see them and know they are there, I can live with it.

Happy Halloween!!

Forest, River, and Brier.
(9-30-08)

This is about the only way I could get a shot of all three of them, all in the same shot. Unfortunately, the focus isn't great on all of them, but I was doing good just getting them all together.

Brier had to have a bath tonight. She really needs to learn not to walk underneath Forest when he's peeing.

"Mrrreeooowwww. I may be only 5 weeks old and not have any teeth yet, but someday I'll be a big mean Malayan Tiger."
(9-6-07)

I ran over to the zoo tonight to see how the baby tigers were doing. They are way too cute. More pictures here.

One year old.
(7-12-08)

Today was Photo Club at the zoo. Remember the little Malayan Tiger cub from last year. Well, he was a year old on Thursday, and this is what he looks like now.

A frosty morning.
(12-22-08)

It's only -7F this morning, not as cold as they thought it might get, and the wind isn't blowing, so it doesn't feel too bad, as long as you don't stay out long. This is frost on my window. The patterns fascinate me.

Into the night.
(12-12-08)

A friend and I went downtown last night to take pictures of the Christmas lights, and we ended at the pedestrian bridge. It was getting colder, windier and drizzly by the time we got there, so the evening ended there. I haven't had time yet to really go through all my pics, but I did like this one.

Refreshing, hot water.
(7-16-08)

Why drink fresh, clean, cool water, when you can have hot rain water that has been sitting on a dirty bucket all day? Mike prefers any water other that what is in his bowl.

Looks like acorns for breakfast again.

Paddling.
May 24, 2010

In spite of the 40 mph wind gusts, I headed over to Lake Zorinsky this afternoon. If I wait for the wind to stop blowing around here, I'll never get out. And it was supposed to get to 90 degrees, so getting drenched was OK. And drenched I did get.

This was back in the feeder stream where it was more protected. Only a small breeze back there. And I had a tail wind getting there, so it didn't seem too bad. But then when I hit the main lake to head back, WOW. The wind was howling by then. I had to cut across the middle of the lake and got totally soaked. I finally made it close the the south shore, and stayed in pretty close where it wasn't too bad. But then when I loaded my kayak back up n the car, I just about lost it in the wind before I finally got it strapped down.

But, in spite of the wind, it was a great afternoon.

Contemplating...
(2-7-09)

Went to the zoo this morning. I find these gorillas to be the most fascinating creatures. And the exhibit allows you to be right there next to them. Only a 6 inch thick piece of glass separates the public from this guy,and his buddy. And this one is always right there by the glass. He seems to enjoy watching the people as much as they enjoy watching him. It is something to stand there eye to eye with with this huge, and beautiful gorilla.

He was just lounging by the glass watching all of the kids when I took this shot.

SNAKE!!!
(5-26-08)

This little guy was lucky that I almost stepped on him BEFORE I started mowing the yard. But then he had to suffer the humiliation of being trapped in a bucket while I mowed. I couldn't let him go without taking a few pictures. And he was the perfect little snake and cooperated wonderfully while I posed him for photos. He is now happily slithering away back in the alley.
