I've been playing around with some macro abstracts in black and white. Kind of going back to the sort of photography I did in high school and college. I was better at it back then, I need more practice.

I thought about doing some B&W macro on small details of this guy. Decided I'd probably better let sleeping gators lie. I did have my snakeproof, waterproof, knee high boots on. The box didn't say anything about gatorproof.

I'm jealous of the hummingbird photo. I managed to get one in my sights today, and of course, he flew off just as I was hitting the shutter.

Nice shot, Woody. Do you have the color version?
Never mind, got it. The color scene isn't expected though.

 

[Clovishound]

I can't decide whether I like the B&W or the color version better.

 

[Marilynne]

Color version for me!

 

[Bikerbrent_RIP]

Yes, I will also go for the color version!!

"Will you get your act together?"

"Oh, I can't look!"

"Something smells bad!"

 

[Bikerbrent_RIP]

Hey Woody, I really like your critters with both photo and printed material. Keep up the great work!!!

 

[Clovishound]

Rearrange them into:

See no evil.

Smell no evil.

I ain't putt'n up with no evil.

My wife and I were watching the nesting box at her family cabin yesterday morning, and we were treated to seeing three baby Mountain Bluebirds fledge from the nest.

Sticking his head out father and farther...

A jump and soar out on to the rocks.

Dad was there right away to keep a watch

Mom was there seconds later and kept watch from above

Soon, another jumped out. Looking pretty confident.

Clumsy fliers, but they were able to fly up into a branch and hang out together for a bit

Checking out the great big world

I've noticed newly fledged birds of various types that tend to cling to the side of the tree instead of landing on a branch. They seem to outgrow the habit pretty quickly.
