A Roseate Spoonbill managed to find its way to Huntley Meadows. It’s been in the wetlands for a week now. Needless to say, the whole birding community in the area is abuzz. A lot of photographers have taken their cameras and tripods, in all hours of the day, to get a picture (well, hundreds of… Continue reading The Huntley Triple Stack

The Osprey at Huntley Meadows
For a small wetland area in the middle of suburbia, Huntley Meadows is not only an oasis for trees, plants and flowers, but also a place where raptors can be found. Ospreys regularly hunt and even nest in its confines. Some pictures taken on a recent visit.
Macro Lens Bird Photography
The swallows are all over the place at Huntley Meadows. They move swiftly through the air, their orange and blue colors shifting like the spectrum Edwin Hubble once saw. Their blue and white brothers are just as swift and try as I might, I consider it a lucky happenstance if I am able to capture… Continue reading Macro Lens Bird Photography

The wood duck is not normally in this tree stump at Huntley Meadows. Then again, it must be interested in what the geese were doing. Curiosity is a wondrous thing. And not limited to humans.

This is another masterpiece from the geniuses at Pixar. This film has so many levels that I think it will take dozens of viewings… Continue reading A Christmas Present
More Practice Needed
I’ve always wanted to take a picture of a kingfisher diving and getting a fish. I stood around watching this kingfisher on a tree. It was fairly far, but I figured with some post processing I can get a decent picture of the bird catching a fish. I stood in a spot for twenty minutes.… Continue reading More Practice Needed
What Kind of Life?
We choose, for ourselves, the life we live. Personal choices. Personal responsibility.
Celebrating Pollinators
What is a summer without bees? Rim lighting (the edges of the bees are aglow) against a strong backlight. A little overexposure to emphasize the warm bright summer day.
Working for a Meal
The osprey was cheerfully eating its meal when out of the blue (sky), a bald eagle tried to lay claim to the half eaten fish. Instead of working for its own food, the eagle would rather have a meal that someone else worked for. And so a duel begins – the larger eagle chasing the… Continue reading Working for a Meal
