Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Sense of Seeing

All my life, I have always enjoyed taking pictures. Around 2008 is when I became more serious about it. I have found that through photography I notice things more such as the details of a flower, a little insect or the beautiful markings on what might be considered a “plain” bird.

Here is a macro of a flower where you can see the bits of pollen and dirt as well as the shades of yellow and green.

This little bug is a soldier beetle – kinda cute I think.

This is a common grackle. These birds can empty a feeder in no time but if the sun hits their feathers just right, you can see beautiful rainbow colors and their eyes are a pretty golden color.

Lens-Artists Challenge #93 – Morning

I don’t rise as early most days as I have in the past. I’m sure this is due to working much less and having the liberty to stay up later at night. On a recent mid-morning walk, we had the opportunity to see this cormorant with a couple of turtles. They seemed to be enjoying the warm sun.

Lens-Artists #91 – Simplicity

This week we are looking at simplicity through our photos. Here are a few that I feel represent this weeks topic.

Simple pleasures (and not terribly high in calories)

A walk on the beach which I could do everyday if I lived closer to one

Watching the birds in our yard. We are soooo excited because this year we finally have bluebirds in one of our bird houses

Spring blossoms always bring a smile

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Birds

Cee provided a picture this week in which we had several topics to choose from. I decided to go with birds because we are seeing a lot of activity now and we just had some baby woodpeckers show up recently. Here’s one of the parents and a baby.
