Flowers in the Backyard
Not much I can say about these. I mounted the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 and went out to the backyard in search of flowers It was the first time I’ve mounted this macro lens on the Nikon D800E and I was very pleased with the results.

Always Have a Camera With You
Earlier this week I took a quick drive to downtown Olympia to pick up some coffee from our favorite coffee shop. I hadn’t planned on doing any photography while on this errand, but I threw the camera bag in anyway. I’m so glad I did. It was a nice day and I decided to check…
Practicing Birds in Flight

Loving the Hummingbirds
We’ve always had hummingbirds coming around our house because we try to keep feeders available to them year round. This year, however, there seems to be a greater number of the little guys hitting our feeders and the flowers in the yard. Our hot poker plant did exceptionally well this year and therefore has attracted…
