A Mighty Yawn!
Miko always makes me think of a lion roaring when he yawns. LOL
He is Carol's buddy and he tolerates me.

The Wonders of the Woven Web!
I watch
a spider's web,
Silver, shining symmetry
in the dawn sunlight.
I ponder the night's work
of the builder,
Striving, driving, conniving
to trap breakfast
flitting through the dew-lined silhouette.
Boldly gleaming, streaming,
poetical in shape and form
as a sonnet on stone.
Disappointment as dewdrops
dissolve in sunlight's heat.

Rays Of Sunlight
Sunrise view from Kelly Butte in Springfield toward the Cascade Mountains.
I liked how the rays of light made it through the clouds.

My Mother On Horseback
This photo was taken near Clyde, Alberta, Canada probably before I was born (which was in 1936).
I don't know who took the picture or what kind of camera was used.
My mother died in 1970 and I sure still miss her.

The Fight Is On!
I watched these two American Coots fighting, as a result of one trying to chase the other away.

A Perfect Match!
I loved this image I got on the Delta Ponds bridge. The bird was a perfect match for the cable.
The only thing done to the image was sharpening, necessary because of using a Kenko 1.4x converter with the 80-400 VR. Point of focus was the cable, note how sharp the feet are. I shot in 'Vivid', which explains the rich colors.

Wood Duck With Fish?
It looks to me like this Wood Duck has a small fish in its beak.
But I can't be positive. What do you think?
Wood Ducks are so unusual and colorful!
Used with Kenko 1.4x converter
