I shot this picture of a Ladder-backed Woodpecker and Carolina Wren out my back window through the screen. Not the best photo, but thought good enough to share on Christmas Eve. I hope to be shooting and posting more photos next year. By the way, that's a Wild Birds Unlimited cylinder feeder they're perched on. It's been great for attracting a wide variety of birds.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I discovered this Cooper's Hawk hanging out in my backyard yesterday, and again this afternoon. He's hoping to consume some of my backyard bird buddies. Guess a bird's got to eat.

I haven't had time to get out and shoot any new macros lately. So, here's another poppy from several weeks ago. I shot this one wide open in order to get the effect you see here. Hence the name - Strawberries and Cream. Hope you like it ...and can bear with me for my reduncancy.

Nature's color! Wonderful!

I had about 15 minutes of sunlight this evening after I got home from work and captured these bluebonnets. I took this particular shot hoping it would have some artistic possibilities. I think it did.
