Give it a Try




Thanks to my friend Sharon, who suggested the use of a tube and shinny surface, I gave it a try and came up with these photos.    There was a little editing done afterwards.

Ice Cubes

I thought by changing this photo, with the pixelate function in Picasa, it would look like Ice Cubes and I think it does.    Cheers!  it's the season.

Weaving Lights




While taking these pictures of Christmas Lights, I moved the camera about so the photos would come out as if I was weaving the lights together.

Secret Reveled

The  secret is........water drops on a CD, turned upside down and the use of a flash light, taken in the dark room. 
Up Close.

Bug in my Pocket

 Too far away to capture a clear photo, I took these photos anyway.

I wished I had a bug  in my pocket to place on a post that was closer to where I stood, behind a tree for cover, as this Female Vermillion Flycatcher flue back and forth feeding on bugs.

Believe It, Or Not

                                            Don't believe everything you see.  
The photo group I attend in Texas chose the subject 'Study of Three'  This is one of my photos on the subject.   What fun!

Green With Envy


                                                 The Malachite Butterfly

                                                         First time to see this one in the wild.

Look Really Hard

 Hidden within the fallen leaves I was shown where to find this Common Pauraque, not the easiest bird to find I'll say.
It was very kind of him to wake long enough to catch the light in his eye.

Wonderful Things to See

 White Pelicans flying over head at Estero Llano Grande State Park, Weslaco TX.
I have never seen so many in one place.      Wonderful!
