A Snowbird in Paradise

Sand Hill Cranes in our yard

 One morning we heard the "unholy" calls of Sand Hill Cranes.  I grabbed my camera and went outside, bare feet and all.  I have never had 4 together in the yard before.  I was sneaking around behind trees but I needn't have bothered.  They paid little mind to me. 

Tamron macro / portrait lens

This winter I bought a new Macro / Portrait lens for my Canon Camera.  I have had some fun with taking Macro photos.  This Damsel Fly was most cooperative.  It was right after a rain storm.

The promise of an hibiscus blossom bud

I am not sure what this beautiful flower is.
