Took this photo last year on my neighbor's yard. I never really noticed

them before but now I am looking forward to this year's bloom. Thanks

for looking.

I found these fungi growing on the bark of a Red Maple among the moss

and lichen. The largest one was approximately 5mm wide at the cap.

Thanks for your comments and possibly I.D. of the fungi.

Something I came across while 'hunting' for butterflies.

Thanks guys. I took this shot with selective focus basically being the main idea. The flower has lines on its petals that lead the eye to the single area in the middle of the flower that is in focus - or not? I guess I'll try for more DOF next time. Perhaps wide open aperture at this close a shooting distance - almost life-size - is asking for too much. Too bad it won't be until next spring when these little beauties reveal themselves again.

Try shooting at a lower angle to take advantage of the colorful flowers in the background and combine with a wide aperture.

Just thought this was one worth sharing. View larger to reveal the

pollen. Shot with a Tokina 90mm f2.5 macro(Nikon AI) with a lens

mount adapter for Canon. Dark background from heavily shaded azalea

bushes. C&C encouraged and highly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to make a suggestion. I truly appreciate it.

Not quite macro but shot with a macro lens to best reveal the

details. Comments and suggestions encouraged. Thank you.

Just a portrait of a Grackle showing some irridescent feathers.

Critiques requested and appreciated.

I just love this time of year when nature provides us with

opportunities to make great photos.

Ever look inside a magnolia? Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

I like the story you are portraying here. There seems to be a bit of noise in the out of focus areas but I like the image anyway.

Happened upon these two sharing some nectar. Thanks.

I did some sharpening with Canon DPP set to 4. The iso was set to 800. The most challenging part with this shot was getting good focus. There is a lack of contrast of course because of the stacked t-cons but I think it is definitely useable. The Canon 300 f4 IS is a great lens and I could highly recommend it to anybody looking for a versatile lens - for macro and some birds. Thanks for the comments guys.

While waiting for my 500 f4 I shot this with a Canon 300mm f4 IS

with stacked canon 1.4x and kenko 1.4x and a 25mm tube. Effective

aperture ~f11.

Beautiful composition.

Beautiful exposure.

Butterfly shot at Terhune Orchards. Thanks for looking!

1st attempt at nature mono. Thanks.

Shot this in the woods behind my house. I.D. anyone?

Thanks for you time and opinions.

Thanks, Angela.

Shot this last year at the Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve early

in the morning, the only time of day these flowers are open.
