    This is Digital Darkroom Derby #237, a digital image editing/processing challenge. I have here one of my favorite trees, if not THE favorite. Shot from the window of my car passing by with my phone. Can not find one from my real camera now, you have to work with this one. It should provide some...

    Animals Standing Deer

    Captured earlier this summer. Deer often come up from the ravine in our back yard, to sample any new growth. Funny to see, but I didn't know they could stand on their hind legs so easily.

    Nature Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my backdoor...

    What a day. I had some time today and it was beautiful outside, and there has been a pretty little black squirrel out there this summer that I wanted to get some photos of. I got a lot more than I expected! All of these were taken within 40' of my back door. First surprise was a Bald Eagle...

    Spiders A new home for Lucas The Jumping Spider

    Lucas has grown quite a bit since I got him 6 months ago, and his little enclosure was getting too cramped. I got him a square 25 cm all-around glass terrarium for plenty of space and easier to warm up using a Heat Mat on the side of the glass. I put a layer of soil and fake moss on one side...

    Bugs Bee gathering pollen

    I still love my very old and much used Nikon D2X and at 12 megapixels the sensor still can take a lot of cropping. These bee photos have been cropped quite a bit and still show well. I used the venerable Sigma 180mm 3.5 Macro lens for these shots today.

    I got lucky and spotted this Osprey in his nest, and he gave me some great shots when he decided to stretch out his wings. Here's a couple i processed so far.

    Animals Red Tail

    Sometimes keeping your gear in the car pays off. I spotted this guy in a cemetery on my way home from work and zipped in and starting taking shots. BTW, for those that are looking at the exif and want to know how my 70-200mm is reporting 400mm I was using a 2x teleconverter.

    Dogs My little, old dog Sissy taking a nap

    Sissy was my wife's dog. She is a 13 yr old chihuahua we got at the animal rescue and she was very quiet when her mommy did not come home one day. She has now decided that I am okay and she rarely leaves me. My good dog Pete died not long ago but I have another Chiweenie dog named Heidi who...

    Hi, I wanted to write this for a week but life kept me busy. I have wanted to do this myself for a while but never got to (so much for taking my own advice) but I happened on this event twice in 6 years: When farmers cut down the fields of grass to be used as hay for their farms it will reveal...

    I wanted to make this post for some time but I haven't found what this bird is until very recently: Called Little Grebe or Dudchick (Tachybaptus ruficollis), it's a very small aquatic bird that I never seen until this spring. They are quite common in Europe, North Africa, Asia and Russia. But...

    My wife and daughter recently returned from a 2-week safari. These are my daughter's images, posted with permission. Very pleased with the quality, proof that the latest and greatest gear is unnecessary. Kind of proud of her, she did a good job!

    Birds My yard water feature, bringing birds to you, close!

    I was asked to start a thread to show the water feature I installed in my yard. We relocated closer to the Texas coast in 2022 and there was an area under some trees to do this. Keep in mind, along the coast there are many birding destinations and many have only small water features that attract...
