I made a short trip up to Hoover Reservoir this morning. I took this very soft shot of the mallard that I liked. I went up to Red Bank Marina and shot the ring-billed gull that posed really nicely on a dock anchor post. I was able to get within about 20 yards of the gull and shot it at about 670 mm.

I don't normally do black and white but this seemed to work.

I went up to Hoover Reservoir late this afternoon to watch the waterfowl come in to roost for the night. Shot a bunch of mallards flying around and landing and got this interesting ( I think so anyway) shot of a hooded merganser.

Its been a slow couple months for photography for various reasons; holidays, weather, and honestly just being lazy. I was over at Blendon Woods this morning and shot these few images.

 This swan was really interested in the aerator in the pond.

I have neglected this blog while doing some other fall stuff and taking a short vacation; I am slowly getting back into the swing here. I made a late afternoon trip over to Blendon Woods this afternoon since we finally had some sun after a few days of gloomy, overcast, skies


This is what I think is a house sparrow; I am really too good at identifying these small song birds.

Black-capped chickadee.

Black duck showing off!

This is a tufted titmouse.

I made a trip down to Deer Creek this afternoon. I dig the spider!

This is a lovely mallard in full plumage.

 These are cormorants.

I shot this macro at Delaware this morning.

I had just a little bit of time to spare late this afternoon so I made a quick trip over to Blendon Woods to shoot some macro in the meadow. I am not sure of the variety of fly in the first couple shots; he is a creepy! I am starting to develop a real interest in macro photography I really enjoy messing around with it.

The honey and bumble bees are always willing subjects, I have become comfortable moving to within 12 inches of them to get the shots, it was a bit unnerving at first!
