Macro

Waiting for the forests to green up and wildflowers to start. In the meantime I have been shooting some other subjects. I had a huge dead oak tree cut down last fall and left the stump. Some of the bark fell of this winter and exposed the wood of the tree. Insects left there marks and the cracks turned into a great subject to shoot. There is so much to shoot in your back yard and garden when you get down low and look. I have had many strange looks from my neighbors as I'm laying on the lawn and crawling around the yard.

The Unexpected Visitor

This afternoon I made a temporary bird bath until I put in the small pond for the birds. Anyways, I had just filled it with water and went inside. I sat down and looked out the window and spotted a yellow spot in the bush. I watched as a yellow warbler flew down to check out the water. I grabbed my camera, but was to late. Later on around 6:50 pm I looked out the window and was watching American Tree Sparrows when the warbler flew in. This time I was able to get a few images. 

No matter where I go I have my camera next to me....you never know. 

I am designing this bird bath so I can get photos of birds at the local yard watering hole. 

A little digging and cement and rocks in the right place I will have a nice set up. 

I hope the birds don't mind me spying on them taking baths.
