Birds, flowers and a rough and tumble camera

Sign you use your camera's macro mode too much: getting lily pollen on the lens.



Shining in the sun (with -0.3 exposure compensation)



Fast shutter (1/6") to keep it from being blurry in the dusk

More here.

This evening, I also saw two juvenile mockingbirds sitting next to each other on a pole-to-house power line, taking turns chirping at their mother, who was in the grass below. I think baby mockingbirds have the most pitiful chirp ever; it's only one "cheeeeeep," but it is the saddest little cheep you ever heard.

Pretty flowers!

Just think, your camera has had sex (sorta) with the flowers. Hee.

Damn, those are good! I've never seen honeysuckle that wasn't white before. ::must investigate proper use of macro function::

BTW, I thought of you last night at the school play, when they used the beginning of "HalfAcre" at the beginning of a scene. :)

Ooh, I love macro photos. Especially flowers. I like the "iris in bloom" shot a lot.

Also, ooh, bird photos! I suck at bird photos but yours are always so awesome.
