8/22/05 Don't you just love to buzz through puddles? This guy came back and forth about 4 times to enjoy that feeling !

8/17/05 Later that day, looking over the valley across to Pike's Peak back on the right. This is one of my favorite spots in Castlewood Canyon Park.

8/17/05 Although there were mosquitoes all over my arms I kept on shooting this hummingbird and his friends. Got a lot of nice images, but paid a little price for them. Next year - good insect repellant!

8/13/05 While visiting my sister and her family in Kansas I was bored and there was fruit on the table. Ate some: shot some. These were fresh off the tree in the backyard and were delicious. I even got a 'care package' for the trip home.

8/10/05 One day at work my guys pointed out the nice rainbow outside. It was a double and I got many pics of it, but I love this one. Saw the plane off to the right and ran down the sidewalk in order to get it flying through the rainbow.

7/28/05 Some strange art sculptures in a field near where I live. There's actually 3 of these bowling pins and a huge bowling ball that looks like the Earth. This thing is about 7-8 feet tall and is within walking distance of my city's namesake in the background; Castle Rock.

7/24/05 When the thistles are blooming the butterflies are all over them. From what I saw, it's only a few weeks time for the thistles to be blooming before they start drying up. Having to navigate in amongst their thorns is a challenge too.

7/17/05 I've played around with shooting Infrared with my Olympus 5050 and my Nikon D70. Not easy and it requires a lot of post processing work to get nice results. This was a color image I just played with in PSCS to get that IR look. Not too bad except for the 'halos' around the leaves.

7/9/05 This Swainson's Hawk was hanging out on some power poles and looking for dinner. Although he didn't come up with any mice or voles while I was there I'm sure he got something.
