Bee

Pictures : Here are a couple shots of a bee, and these are not my strong suit when it comes to photographing. However, this bee was there and so was I, so here you go.

A Bird or Two

Pictures : Here is a Lesser Gold Finch and a House Finch. Some birds pics for a change, but it will be back to butterflies tomorrow. Figure I should take advantage of the butterflies while they are around.

Weather : We had a little rain last night, a very good thing for the area. Seems to have bought in a bit cooler weather too, and I like that part.

Exercise/Knees : The old knees have been holding up well, but I did feel a little pain in my walk this morning. Perhaps, I am adding too many bird walks in. Maybe I should do one or the other (exercise or birding walk), and not both in the same day. As always, I will adjust as needed.

Have a nice day Folks

More 🦋🦋🦋

Pictures : I am enjoying shooting these butterflies. I got lucky with finding a nice little spot nearby with lots of butterflies (for this area anyway). Nice little change of shooting for me. I need to get out more and look for things to shoot.

Morning Stroll : I took the R7 and EF 100-400 mm for a little walk this morning. Should get into some of those shots for the blog next week sometimes. It’ll be more butterflies, hope you folks aren’t tiring of them. These camera walks are usually a half mile to a mile long, and last 45 minutes to an hour. For me, they are very enjoyable and relaxing. I miss being places where I can just combine my daily walk with my camera walks, such as Blue Water State Park, NM.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Blending In

Pictures : Here a couple of butterflies that do blend into the environment very well. These shot with the 7D II and EF 300 lens.
