Found this long legged flier nicely balancing on tulip petals. Comments welcome.

Tulip closeup - natural light diffusing through. Comments welcome.

Found this Brewer's Blackbird wandering around on the shores of Lake Tahoe this summer. I waited for the moment when the shadows in the beach sand merged with the bird. Comments welcome

As we pay respects to our fallen soldiers on this Memorial Day, 2015, I would like to post this image of WW II Memorial taken at night. Comments welcome.

Family meeting.. of course, the kids don't care.

Curious character! Probably the first time he is posing for a photo...

I was observing these Canada Geese and just hatched Goslings for a while from a distance on a cloudy day. I knew that the scattered clouds in the sky will let the sun beams come out around twilight - and just when a beam fell on the lake, the family moved in!.. It was one of those magic moments. Comments welcome.

Very nice and sharp. Looks like the flower is slightly over exposed.. but I like the background bokeh.

Great shot and nice reflections.. perhaps a slight anti-clockwise rotation would make it even better?

No - not at all... I like the symmetry. Also, the pebbles. It is really great.

Great shot... of a cool winter scene.

Table Rock is an iconic hill in the city of Boise, Idaho. This shot was taken few days before full moon (super moon) this fall. As landscape photographers know well, it is good to take moon shots few days before full moon if we want proper exposure of the landscape. However, I wanted to have the appearance of a "full moon" even though it was gibbous. I composed this shot in a location half way up the hill before the moon rose high above. Taking the shot when the gibbous moon's edge was just "touching" the top of the hill, allowed me to create an impression of a full moon. It is all about perspective! It was also race against time since I had to run up the hill with my heavy gear to catch up to the moon that was running much faster than me! :-)

Close up shot of the Yellow-headed Blackbird in Camas Prairie, Idaho. Comments welcome.

Fall colors in forest undergrowth often go unnoticed even if we hike deep in the woods. However, nature can at times reveal the hidden beauty.I took this shot near Copper Mountain along the Ponderosa Scenic Route towards Stanley, Idaho. We had a wildfire that destroyed most of the pine trees in this area last summer. It was a good opportunity to bring out the colors in the undergrowth during fall and to reveal the hidden glory.
