White Winged-Dove, studying her options


This White-winged Dove looked to be pregnant.  She worked her way out on the hanger for the bird feeder, trying to see if there was a better way to get to the birds seed.  She didn't find that better way. The ledge on the feeder was made for smaller birds.  To eat, she had to keep flapping her wings, holding on with one leg.  It seemed awkward, but the bird seed must have taster better than creepy crawly things.

Glass-hugging tree frog


This fellow had chosen one of our windows for a day of relaxation. He was clinging there when I spotted him and stayed put while I ran and got my camera. I wasn't very comfortable with what I shot. There wasn't enough room to get above him, and the lighting was surprisingly dim for outside.  So I ran in to check my shots on the computer a couple times before I decided this was about as good as I was going to get.   Next time, I will ask the tree frog to move out into the light.

Freez-frame, in frozen light


Emerging after a massive cannonball in the backyard pool, the diver shakes the water from his hair with the pool light as a backdrop.
(I took this shot from a video shot on my Kodak PlaySport hand-held video camera)
