Tree sap.
Sunset at Cheney Lake.
Not sure what this is but I like the color.
Long exposure at McHugh Creek.
Another sappy pic.
Can anyone guess what this is?
Moss on a rock.

It’s been how many hours since I posted pics??
Sap. Upside-down to show refracted image.
Red Necked Grebe
Sandpiper
Yellow Jacket. On my wife’s back no less! I don’t know who’s more crazy, her for letting me take the pic or me asking her to stand still.
A long exposure of a moose at night. Just had to see how this would look.
Nuthatch.
Happy Moose!
And her baby.
Hope you enjoyed them!
While we still have some light.
I had some icehole give me grief because I had a camera in the park. Said it was “F***ing strange.” Taking pics of my Granddaughter is strange? I’m sure someone taking pics three feet directly in front of the subject looks suspicious. Wut?
It really isn’t easy getting this close with a 60mm lens.
Happy woodpecker is happy!
He looks a bit torn up.
And the funny pic of the week:
PICTURES!!!
Ok, it’s not my best bee pic but I liked how fluffy the bee looked.
It’s overexposed but I liked the starburst pattern.
This one is nice and clear.
And this one is not.
Trying to get two droplets in one pic.
I like the starbursts on this one too.
You can see the sun in this one. That sap sticking out of this looks strange.
This one looks most unusual. Almost like an egg.
And now for the creepy pics:
Here’s looking at you!
Help me!
Creepy spider and creepy shadow! Score!!
I could’ve had a moose pic but it was hiding too much, and I didn’t have my camera when I saw a fox, and the blue jays were too fast for me, the bald eagle was too far from me, and the salmon wouldn’t pose for me. But maybe next time….
Anyways, that’s it for now. Place your vote for best pic!

I did a night time long exposure with the aperture set at f32. The star effect on the lights are natural. The shorter exposures didn’t produce them. Must do some research on this phenomenon. Also, the moon was a real cool orangish-red and the long exposure over-exposed it.
It’s not a bee but it sure has some similarities. Bee wannabe?
One of these days I’ll learn the names of the things I take pics of! So for now, I’ll just title this ‘Red Flower’. Original, eh?
I tell ya, if I got any closer I’d be on the other side. I swear I hit its tail with my lens as I was trying to get this shot. Notice the texture on the eyes? Yes, it’s mostly blurry. I wanted to close the aperture some more but the sun was setting and the light wasn’t that strong.
This one was up high in a tree. I had to aim high (Air Force pun intended) and hope I had it framed and the auto-focus worked.

Some sort of moth thingy. Small, white, and hard to get near too.
Same type but a rare shot of its wings open.
Name that spider… it’s a daddy longleg.
It’s another one of them blue dragonfly’s but the eyes look different- clear.
Some grasshopper thingy.
Same thing, different angle.
Side view.
And can you guess what that is?
It’s one of these, from this:
Cool, eh?
It’s a rare blurry bee with a cool focused tongue thingy.
A hungry moose.
And something my oldest son would do to his car:
Hope you enjoyed this batch! Leave comments, throw money or something.

These things were really small.

Ok, it’s not small but it looks cool!
The reflections in the sap look great!
Bug on a tarp. This is during my Blue Period.
A spider.
This has “STFU!” written all over it.
View full sized to appreciate the detail in this one! And as with most of these, this is at 60mm!!!
This one was trying to get a good look at me.
