Butterflies for sister 'Jo' ;-))

Well, it finally happened. I got a 'lazy' or very hungry Swallow Tail Butterfly that just wanted to take his time checking out our various flowers. So I had time to get many shots to this guy today!! I tried 'cropping' out a full size area and then pasting it back into the picture after reducing the full picture for the web. That way you will be an even better look it him, eh!! ;-)) Check out all of the Butterfly pictures plus a couple of a Hummingbird too. Later, 'Viper'

Orphan Fawn ... NOT!! ;-))

Hi Folks,
Here are 3 pictures that my friend Barbara in Texas sent me today!! A friend of her's had sent them to her because she knew Barbara would love them and then Barbara since them to me for the same reason, eh!! Barbara was told that as soon as the horses moved away, then the Fawn's mom came back around, so that's the reason that I add 'NOT', eh!! Later, 'Viper'

Butterfly, Hummingbird, Clouds, Flowers & Misc ;-))

Well Folks, I've been taking tons of shots of all the growth in our new plants & flowers. Then today Kathy called me to grab my camera and come a running. Yeah, like I can run, eh!! ;-0 But I got some shots of a 'hummer' standing still!! I have never seen one stand as long as this guy did and not just once, but twice!!! Then got a few good shots of a butterfly, but kept missing one with his wings wide open. Bummer. And you know how much I love taking cloud pictures and that I did too. Be sure to check out the 'Misc' too, because I have a nice 'Moon' shot coming thru the trees and a really cute pony pulling a wagon with a rider. Just check them out when you have the time, because I know I have a lot of things to view. Hope you like all of the pictures. Later, 'Viper'

A Lot of Editing & Testing, eh!!

Hi Everyone, I've got some work for you to do when you have the time, ok?? I've been playing around with testing different types of shots like using my 'night' settings in the daytime and at night, focusing on something other than what I'm going to 'shoot', using no more than 50% zoom and then 'cropping' out the section that I want and then doing some 'creative' editing within my graphics program, right!! What I'd like you all to do is look at the various pictures and let me know if you find any one or all that looks 'fake' to you, ok. I try to use the pictures that my camera takes first, but if they look a little 'off' to what I could see with my own eyes, then I 'tweak' the shot to try and make it look like what I saw, right. But, that doesn't mean that all of my pictures look right to you!! So your feedback will be greatly appreciated, ok!! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy all of these shot. Later, 'Viper'
