Don't Tickle This Ivory
New lens allows a close up look at some of the dental detail.
Lemon Lime
I'm not certain precisely what type of feathered friend this is, but those colors!
Wee Bear
It's Sooooooooo FLUFFY!!!
Kibibbi & Dalia
Not the best of pictures but still nice to see Cleveland Zoo keeping the critically endangered jogging along, even if it is in an enclosure.
Bee & Daffodil
Haven't delved into macro yet. Might be coming soon tho.
Bella Chills
Sometimes when you are upright you raise the roof, she did all the time. Sometimes you gotta stretch out those paws and chill.
Eyes of a Girlie
Remember. New lenses. Test shots. Here a lens made for stupid thin depth of field allows you to pick a part of a subject and both nearer and farther fade into soft warmth. This eyes have seen some things.
Dogpark Joy
I wish she was facing the other way so the sun put some catchlight in her eyes, but Bella was loving the free rein. Much less regret.
Bella Billie Jean Sniff
If you don't remember the Michael Jackson video where his magical feet illuminated the sidewalk. Well, girlie's magical feet made God feel like highlighting one part of the dog park.
Some Eagle
Sorry Sir. Didn't realize I was staring. Didn't mean to or mean anything by it. I'll be going now/ If that's ok with you.
Some Bird
Fascinated by the eyes of birds. So bright and efficient. I wish I could see like one and smell like a dog and thing like a person all at the same time.
Gull on the Move
New lens means test shots. Local part provided this stark contrast for a 70-200mm zoom.Not take sharp but the contrast and separation are on point.
Nuthatch with a Tuft
More of Mother Dear's feathers outdoor pets. Even backyards are fascinating if you're paying attention.
Birdoo in Flight
The Birdoos have a nest cluster not far from here. This one sailed into frame against the bright sky.
Birdoo Sun Welcome
Yes. I call them Birdoos. No idea why. But look at the thing. This ain't no normal amalgamation of bird parts.
Birdoo Youngstown
Was turning onto my mother's street and this bugger was hanging out in the pond at the corner. Snuck out and clicked his take off.
Kingfisher
First trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Wish I had the skill to catch this artist at work. Will be back to try again.
Frog So Blue
Again. If you think you have it all figured out...stop and have a look. The world is crazy and amazing.
Bailey Box Envy
No, it wasn't ribs. It was pizza. Just try to say no to those eyes either way.
Midflap Cardinal
Bro's backyard in Fla is awash in all kinds of wildlife. They were gracious enough to indulge me getting some snaps. Bummed we didn't catch the bobcat.
Chewy
Hard at work. I imagine he looks like me at a wings or rib place. All purpose and intent.
Cow With Relaxed Perm
This dude lives at a winery in Ohio Amish Country. Apparently, a nice Beaujolais helps him let his hair down.
Red Ruffed Lemur
Definitely, need a better pic of these wild beasts.
Eel
Terror & Teeth. I'll stay on this side of the glass.
Bull Elephant
Is he starting a hair piece? Asking for a friend. Side note...most of the animals at the zoo stay inside in the warm during the winter, not the best photo safari option.
Elephants
Team meeting at 1:00 in the Savannah at Cleveland Zoo.
Giraffe
This is totally how I felt through Junior High School.
Break Time
This is how you relax after work in Amish country in Ohio.
Draft Horses
This is how you report for duty in Amish country Ohio.
Jellyfish
Sometime beauty is downright dangerous. What color tho.
Komodo
I know their spirit tis poison and all but imagine if they breathed fire. That's so dragon.
Lion Close
I may not be in the jungle but I am the King of where ever I am including right here right now.
Meerkat
This critter from the Cleveland Zoo clearly knows they have their own show on Animal Planet. Maxin' & Relaxin' in VIP.
Murph
Dog parks are for good boys. Here's an example.
Robin
The red, red came bob, bob, bobbing along through our backyard. Finally the sun cooperated.
Starfish
Aquarium shot at Akron Zoo. The world really is just flabbergasting if you stop to look at it for a moment.
Hallo-Weenies
OK. So here's the thing, it's a ridiculous photoshop Halloween Card with our dogs who HATED wearing things. Even at their worst, puppies are way better than people. Life or pictures. You don't wanna fight about this one.
Male Woodduck
I wish there was some sun this day. The coloring is amazing.
Mom's Woodpecker
One of the pair of tree hammerers that my mom feeds in Youngstown.
