San Antonio

Butterflies Mostly

Obviously one of my obsessions.

I am happier with the images this time.

Perhaps because they are more recent.

Or because of my new lens.

This first image is outside of the butterfly house in the open.

 I should win a prize.  I found the ladybug in a butterfly house. 

There should be a prize for that.

Coastal Scenes

Minimal results.

The weather was not cooperating. 

Drizzling rain, colder temperatures, and a brief period of hail. 

Thank goodness for my polarizer.

It took some gloom out of our day at the beach.



Shedd Aquarium

Aquariums are some of my favorite places to take pictures.  We visit them as often as we can.  Images of bright fish without having to strap on scuba gear.

 Jellyfish

Butterflies

From our recent trip to the circus.

I was hoping this one would turn out more like an old poster.

Still learning.

Weekend Getaway

The Zoo.

I'm a very big fan of taking pictures in the zoo.

Probably because I'm a very big chicken and fences make me feel safer.

However, I try not to make it look like the animals are in the zoo, which is hard with all the concrete and faux stone.



This is quite possibly one of my favorite animal shots I've ever taken.
I am never going to get this shot again.
And I think it's funny.

The Japanese Gardens
