Haven’t had a lot to post lately as I have been doing a lot of non-photography related things. But anyway, here are some butterflies from my backyard. In the middle of summer, I impulse-bought a bag of wildflower seed to throw in my large planter by the back fence. Didn’t know what to expect, but… Read More Butterfly Garden
Some Bewick’s Wrens took up residence in a decorative birdhouse on my back porch. These little birds are not very bothered by me and flutter back and forth as I sit there near their birdhouse. They occasionally sit and study me for a second to be sure that I am not a cat or something,… Read More A Wren Family
I recently purchased a teleconverter for which I have been saving up. I plan to undertake a photography expedition in spring that will involve landscapes and potentially a lot of wildlife and I have been trying to up my wildlife game in preparation. Shooting wildlife photos is quite a different skillset and equipment set compared… Read More Why Would I Need a Teleconverter?
Sunday afternoon I sat in my chair reading a book when I heard what sounded like little footsteps over my head. I then heard them again, so I went out to see what it was. I was hoping I didn’t have a critter in the attic and it was just something on the roof. When… Read More What’s On My Roof?
I have two photos that I recently took that I kind of like but I didn’t know what to do with. They aren’t part of a theme or anything, so I will just post them here. The first one is a sunflower in front of the setting sun. I tried to line up the sunflower… Read More Two Random Photos
I have a hummingbird feeder in my backyard and the hummingbirds don’t come around too often, but last night one did and the light was perfect. I could sit in the shade of the house with the setting sun shining on the feeder and bird. I also picked a vantage point such that I would… Read More Because They Don’t Know The Words
On a bored Friday morning, I sat in the back yard drinking coffee (black, of course) and noticed a lot of damselflies in the grass. So, I ran in and grabbed my camera and watched and waited. I had to wait until they could get a little sunlight so their bright colors could really show… Read More The Damsel and the Dragon
This was somewhat inspired by anther photo I saw somewhere. Dandelions are blooming everywhere. I don’t want them in my yard, but they grow faster than I can get rid of them. They start with bright yellow flowers before they seed out. This one was up by the front sidewalk in full sun. It was… Read More Photography from Home – Dandelion
As a distraction from staring at this: I have been going outside with my longest lens, 70-200mm f/2.8. A few evenings ago, I sat out back with my computer and noticed that the birds came to the birdbath while I was sitting there. So, the next evening I brought my camera with me to see… Read More More Photography from Home
Been mostly stuck at home for 3 weeks now, just like most other people. But at least it is raining most days to keep me in the house. Maybe I am going stir crazy but, I thought that raindrops in the bird bath with flowers in the background would make a nice photo. So when… Read More Photography from Home – Rain
