Saw tons of these just dangling off tiny threads throughout the park yesterday:

They were tiny, hardly the length of a fingernail and kept blowing around in the wind making it difficult to get a shot at all. So happy a few turned out well enough to share!

Those caterpillar shots have come off so good, particularly that first one with an invisible thread!

Views from Buck Mountain

I went up to Lake George in upstate NY over Memorial Day weekend. It was a bit of a hike from the Buck Mountain trailhead, but the view of Lake George from just below the summit was spectacular.

Was out at a nearby park today and caught these with my T5i + 200 mm f/2.8L (just before the screen on my T5i decided to stop working)

Northern Goshawk, Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona. I found the nest and pissed it right off. Playing with hyperspaz mode on the camera (24 frames/sec).

And this is what they sound like when they are homing in to rip your face off.

It was too cold for the beetle to move on its own so I moved it off the trail and onto a sunny rock. The beetle wasn't letting go of its stick though. Once it warmed up it was going to come out swinging.

Not the best picture I ever took, but while I let the dogs out in our back yard, they found a turtle laying eggs. While keeping them away, grabbed a shot with my cell phone.

Got a nifty 50 for my Sony A6300...pretty sharp center focus...

Some fun in the kitchen sink (with 105 macro):

Some moon shots with the Tamron 100-400 that replaced a faulty Sigma 100-400:

even heavier crop of the first already heavily cropped one:

Loving it so far!

Night-blooming cereus cacti
June 23, 2018

The cacti generally all bloom on the same night and the flowers last just a few hours. This year we likely get another bloom tonight as not all the buds opened last night. These wild cacti grow in the desert a few miles from our house. For most of the year, the cacti look like dead sticks.

Good eye, yeah tons of paragliders.

A ferry crossing counts as part of a road trip, right? Victoria, BC via Port Angeles, WA
