Dandelion Macro
I went out to the ponds by the Ballpark in Arlington... but couldn't find any decent wildlife to shoot... so, I settled on using the new macro lens to get up close and personal with a dandelion.Enjoy!
Ring-Necked Duck
Went to the business park tonight and found a Ring-Necked Duck swimming with the Mallards. Enjoy!

Valentines 2012
Ok, yes... this is a photograph of the flowers I bought my wife for Valentines Day. Nice eh? Well, good - now that we have that out of the way, let's explain WHY I'm taking this picture ;-) It has come to my attention that my daughter is going off on a trip to Oregon in March - and she is without a camera. What's a father to do? I mean, what kind of dad would I be to let my child - whom I love - go all the way into some of the most beautiful scenery this country has to offer - without a camera??? That would rank right up there as child abuse if you ask me.
So, I went out tonight and bought a camera (click here) that I will *loan* to her as she goes on her exciting adventures in the wilds of the Northwest. Not bad for a point and shoot - but let's not be less than forthcoming: This image has been post-processed through Photoshop Elements :-) Still not bad!
I hope she enjoys my new toy... oh, did I say that out loud? I meant to say *HER* new toy ;-)

Wood Duck 2
Another Wood Duck taken at the Trinity Park Duck Pond... and just as in the previous photo, I did NOT enhance these colors... it's just a very colorful duck! Enjoy!
Wood Duck 1
Took this picture at the Trinity Park Duck Pond in Fort Worth. Despite your first impressions, I did NOT enhance the color on this duck... I only adjusted brightness, contrast & sharpness. The color is *real*... very striking animal! Enjoy!

Sometimes you feel like a nut...
You know you're desperate for photo material when you settle on a pecan ;-) Oh well, you work with what you got... Enjoy!
Dandelion Macro
I think it's interesting that dandelion's are just a weed... but when you look very closely, they have alot of delicate details.... I like the curly stems... Enjoy!

Northern Pintail
Another lifer for me... this is a Northern Pintail ... as the name suggests, it's a northern duck which is down here for the winter... they breed as far north as Alaska! Enjoy!
Solitary Sandpiper
Made a run out to the Drying Beds this morning... they actually have quite a bit of water in them now...they've been pumping water in for about a week now. Got pretty close to this Solitary Sandpiper.... enjoy!

I continue to play around with my new macro lens... I got this idea from a video I watched... this is a slice of lime in a vase of club soda.... enjoy!

Fall Killdeer...
As dry as the Drying Beds have become, it's become a fairly lousy photography location... I did go out there today and managed to get this one decent shot of a killdeer... however, the ground on which he stands is the dried up pond bed... earlier in the spring, if he was in this same location, he'd either be underwater, or floating ;-) Enjoy!

The Drying Puddles...
A cool picture from the Village Creek Drying Beds where I take much of my bird photography... although, since we've not had much rain, everything has just about dried up... so, I've started calling them the Drying Puddles... Enjoy!

Scarlet Ibis
Another good shot from the Fort Worth Zoo today... This is called a Scarlet Ibis. Please note that I did NOT enhance any colors on this bird... if I had, he would just burst into flames ;-) That is exactly what he looked like in real life, so I left the color as-is. Enjoy!
Blue Macaw
Went out to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got some great pictures... including this large Macaw... Enjoy!
Big Kitty...
Went out to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got some great pictures... I have several of this White Tiger... I may post some more in the future - but this one ain't bad. Enjoy!
Majestic Bald Eagle
Went to the Fort Worth Zoo today and got some great pictures... I was very happy to get a good shot of this Bald Eagle.. it's a shame he was behind a chain link fence... Enjoy!
Sitting Pretty...
Went to the Fort Worth Zoo today and took a lot of pictures... it seems odd to go all the way to the zoo to get a picture of a Cockatiel, but I found a good one... enjoy!
In deep thought...
