Been scoping out local Sea bird haunts among other local sites for Nature watching.<br>

<p>"Simply messing--about--in--boats; messing----Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular, and when you've done it there's always something else to do..." from The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame 1908<br>

So far summer here has been somewhat cloudy and dull and chilly. However there have been a few fine sunny days and on those days out in the boat, well, nothing seems to matter...<br>

D70 70-300mm</p><div>00Z23k-379121584.jpg.7f76086a9991132347188f04c13e1ef6.jpg</div>

<p>Very nice shots everyone! After eight months with no rain, the spell was finally broken a few weeks ago and everything is turning green. This is a wild Lantana flower getting ready to bloom. They call it the butterfly plant because butterflies are attracted to it, but also notice what the blooms look like before they open. :) Four image stack on a dewy morning. D90/Sigma 150mm macro@1/125, f/8, ISO 400.</p>

<p>It's often the wind that changes things here; our garden has a bed of ox-eye daisies that are usually moving in the wind. So I spent about a week (!) trying to capture their movement. Lots of long exposures, but finally felt happiest with multiple exposures, camera firm on a tripod and just snapping repeatedly with a fast shutter speed as the wind moved the flowers. You may well think it a wasted week....</p><div>00Z24O-379131584.jpg.ee031aed3de57a08b01209949d0f2be8.jpg</div>

<p>Good morning All...<br>

My shot this week is of an old French flag which I found at a flea market Boulevard de la Madeleine this past week-end and I ended up buying it for a mere 2 euros.<br>

Since tomorrow is Bastille Day, I thought that I'd share...<br>

Tx to Daniel Owen for commenting on my sunflower last week!<br>

Michael Ferron, nice shot...!</p><div>00Z24Y-379133584.jpg.48e515dd509d7b39d821118ef18cbcad.jpg</div>

<p>Good Wednesday everyone. Wow! Really have some great posts already. Well it comes a time in your life when you have start carrying less as you walk your miles taking pictures. My camera store had a great Demo Day recently and I took advantage of the great buys and purchased a Tamron 18-270 VC lens. Tried it out at the zoo and here is one of the pics from the butterfly house. The macro on this lens is great. Nikon D7000 Tamron 18-270 at 270mm. It won't take the place of some of Nikon f/2.8 lenses, but it sure is easier to carry just one lens around the zoo.</p><div>00Z25K-379141584.jpg.2eb785330b1fa58f15a77bcc6570c15b.jpg</div>

<p>Good morning. This is a photo of Maggie, a border collie mix who is obsessed with playing fetch with only a single object - rocks. Balls, sticks, toys, etc. she ignores. Toss a small rock, and she focuses on the task of retrieving that rock.</p><div>00Z25Z-379149684.jpg.475e94cb1feb86a23e9e809a27c3a1ca.jpg</div>

<p>Love the wind-blown daisies and the expression of the woman in the yellow car.</p>

<p>The marigolds I planted about 3 months ago have finally bloomed among some mauve stocks, and my new Samyang 35mm f/1.4 arrived 2 days ago, so here's a picture of said marigolds taken with said lens. D700 - 1/8000th @ f/1.4.</p><div>00Z25b-379151584.JPG.65b0ae335569a7638adf3b765e003137.JPG</div>

<p>wow, some nice shots this morning!<br>

From the Running of the Bulls this past Saturday here in New Orleans. It is NEVER a good idea to taunt a bull, especially one with furry skates.<br>

<p>Good Wednesday morning to all and some really great shots already this morning. Spent all last week at my camper at Lake Le Boeuf in Waterford, Pa. Here is a shot taken last Thursday morning about 5:45AM doing some Bass fishing. The sun is trying to burn through the early morning fog and mist. </p><div>00Z260-379155584.jpg.f102f9bc8b158c2cd08fcb05f6bdfd8f.jpg</div>
