We saw this black and orange fella just hanging out on a cool morning, and my brother had the rather cool idea of giving him some breakfast. He started by digging up a grub worm and dropping it in the web, which the spider promptly encased in silk for a future feast. He also added a cricket and a grasshopper to the insectular smorgasbord (click the photo to see my Flickr gallery, and you can find a picture of the grasshopper) but I like the composition of this photo over some of the others.
My brother was kind enough to let me practice some panning shots while he rode his unicycle around. This was one decent photo out of a couple dozen rather blurry photos :) Even though it took a while, we were both rather pleased with the result.
I was playing with my son underneath a magnolia tree, and happened to glance up and see a bit of sky through a crack in one of the branches.
Apparently this is what a storm drain looks like before it’s installed beneath a street. I prefer to think of it as an alien space pod that crash-landed near the parking lot.
This is one of two photos of this moth that I was able to capture (click the picture to see the other one in my Flickr gallery) and I had a difficult time deciding which one to post. I eventually settled on this one because even though there is more going on in the frame, I like the colors and somewhat larger depth of field. And that drop of water on its hindquarters is kind of cool too.
