Stay home they say. It will be fine, they say. I usually prefer travel and landscape when it comes to
photography, but you can stay home and find things to shoot right around you. It is spring and the hummingbirds are out. A little bit of patience and you might catch one just outside your windows like I did for this shot.
Sometimes, to get that sweet sweet nectar you have to do extraordinary things.
Nothing to see here, certainly not a friendly little green bug just trying to blend in with the little green bits of this flower. Move right along please and don’t bother the bug!
I found this banana slug just sliding around the floor of the redwood forest. He can’t really see, just detect light and movement, which might explain why he thought it was a good idea to go over this stick but ended up searching around in the air for his next move.
Last week was all about winter and this week is all about summer! This caterpillar knows all about the change of the seasons. They are taking over our neighborhood right now, but it won’t be long before the seasons change and these guys make a transformation of their own.
I harnessed some Christmas energy and experimented a bit to get this shot. When taking pictures of Christmas lights this year, I found that out of focus lights created a much more dramatic effect by making the light much larger. When I saw these holiday decorations in my neighborhood, I decided to take photos both in and out of focus. By re-focusing at different spots I was able to highlight the shape of the lights. The result is really dreamy on the edges, while at the same time pulling your attention to the angel in the center. Merry Christmas!
Sometimes the best snowflakes are those powered by many tiny LEDs. No shoveling required!
This guy looks a little too calm to me considering it is late November! Happy Thanksgiving!
This bee was working all day, and still had more pollen to collect. You can see it covering his legs as he continues on performing his one duty for the day.
The colors behind have already popped, but these white buds are holding out a little while longer before showing off their flowers.
