Green Heron- Los Angeles Arboretum
"Peanut Delight"
Magnificent winged predator of the forest and meadow. Silent, deadly and bows to few. I watched this youngster hunt squirrels to a draw. I suspect that mom and dad still needed to teach the youngster a trick or two. I used a 70x200 mm 2.8 IS with a 1.4 extender. This shot was in color but the Black and White seems to be more dramatic.
"A Thorny Situation"- Took a second place in Macro/Close Up division at Santa Clarita Valley Photography Association.
Spotted Tohee- Sepulveda Basin, Sherman Oaks, CA- Quick finger on the shutter. This colorful bird does not stay still for long.
"hey, stop being a bully"
It looks like a yellow jacket but it isn't. Sometimes you see it stationary in the air near a plant or flower during the summer, hence the generic name "Hover Fly". It does not sting. This insect looks big in the photo but it is small, like a fly.
My photo associates always say "is that it" where is the blood and guts, the story, the impact etc. How about a decapitated salamander in the beak of a great white Egert. I came about the action and could not believe the struggle that occured between fowl and reptile. The fowl won as you can see.
