Flashy

Posted on August 25, 2014 by onepicatatime

I finally got my flash off-camera!  I love my 100-400 lens, but I really do need quite a bit of light for it to perform best.  I’ve never liked the look I get when using my flash on-camera.  So I … Continue reading →

How fast they grow

Posted on July 23, 2014 by onepicatatime

The robins on my porch fledged yesterday morning.  When my husband left for work, we found this one fresh out of the nest sitting on the porch.     I’m going to take the nest down this time because it … Continue reading →

Goodbye beach

Posted on July 21, 2014 by onepicatatime

My yearly beach vacation is over.  Although it’s good to be home, I don’t know how I’ll make it a whole year without seeing the ocean.  It’s such a peaceful place to be. I had hoped to see more birds … Continue reading →

A bird, a butterfly, and a flower

Posted on July 3, 2014 by onepicatatime

Just a few quick shots to share from the last day or two.     This male Indigo Bunting is often sitting on this tree singing at the top of his lungs.  He often flies away the minute I get … Continue reading →
