Flying Geese

I've been going to the river to practice photographing birds in flight.  It's hard to keep them in focus and have the entire bird in the frame.  I will keep practicing.  🙂 Maralee

A Couple of Old Coots

When I was down by the river this weekend, I saw these strange-looking birds.  I thought they were black ducks.  I searched the internet for black ducks with white bill and lo and behold . . . they're coots. Maralee

Tulips . . . V (Finale)

While most of my tulip photos were more of a macro nature, I did take a few photos of them all together.  I liked the blend of colors. Maralee

Tulips . . . IV (Backlit)

I wanted to try to get some photos of the tulips when they opened using backlighting from the sun.  We were fortunate to have a couple of beautiful, sunny days.  Today there was a lot of sunshine but there was a thin high cloud cover which made for a little more diffused lighting. Maralee
