Early January morning at the Northeast corner of the Choctawhatchee Bay.

and yes , I know the horizon is off, I have not learned how to straighten it yet!


 Thanks for stopping by.

A photo of a bird in my back yard at the feeder.
With the new nikkor lens I just received.
It got me a little closer , but I think a hunting blind,
 one of those pop-up ones , I could get even closer?

Another One From My Back Yard

If you live in Florida, there is a Magnolia tree somewhere close to where you live.
They normally produce blooms for most of the summer.
Through their life cycle the blooms can be very interesting to photograph.


Thanks for stopping by.

Thank You

Thank you all for stopping by,

With  all  the  rain  we  have  been  having  here  in  Argyle,Florida ,
raindrops  on  the  wild  honeysuckle  blooms  looked  fairly  nice,
so  I  braved the  elements, got  a little  wet , but got a  nice picture.

One more bloom  from  the  backyard.
It has been foggy each morning I have planed to do
sunrise  landscape photos so I have resorted
to stuff  in my backyard. Hope you like it.

A Spring Weed?

A plant in my backyard, could be some kind of weed.
Using a prime macro 40mm lens makes this flower bloom ,
the size of a persons thumb nail, larger than life.
Still it is  unique and pretty.

 

Fall colors  from  Morrison Springs in Walton County Florida .
Of the boat landings along the  Choctawhatchee River that I
 have  visited  so far,  Morrison Springs
has  had the  best Fall colors .
Ether a polarizer filter  or maybe a graduated neutral density filter
would  have  made it pop a little better ?

It was taken sunrise  in  DeFuniak Springs  behind  the  ""Hall of Brotherhood"   on Lake DeFuniak.
Nikon DSLR, manfrotto  tripod , cable release, at f22, 1/25 , and 18mm.

Practicing with a new shutter remote cord attachment  on  my  camera  mounted on a  tripod.

Worked quite  well.  Now  to find  a  better place  to  shoot  a  sunset  landscape  like  with 

 maybe   the  railroad  tracks, a neighborhood  lake  or  pond  in  the  foreground  to  make

  it  a  little  more interesting ?

 

One Of Those !

One of those shots that  a good macro lens was really  needed!!
The little  bug had a very nice color on him.

Thanks  for  stopping by,

I found this little turtle trying to climb a small stump in my yard!

A  typical  weed in my  backyard, a thorny blackberry bloom,  even it  can be  pretty.

The pungent  aroma  of  the spring  magnolia  blooms  in  the  air!!

Out On A Limb

This  little  fellow popped  out  from  my  firewood  pile
on an  early cool  spring  morning.

                               


An early look at the spring to come!!

Birds Waiting In The Fog

Mid morning , birds waiting for the fog to clear.

Life At Ground Level

Life at ground level  is  some times ignored or missed.

Bugs Compete For Food ?

Recently out in my yard , I was looking for something photograph.
While photoing magnolia blooms , I spotted a honey bee an another type of insect
on the same bloom. Looks like the honey bee won!
