Just got back this afternoon from a week down in the Rio Grande Valley with Mom and one of her other Master Naturalist friends. I have about 500 pictures to go through in Photoshop but I picked one from the first day to post here. A tri-colored heron with a nicely positioned palm tree in the background giving some accent to it.

For those interested in the particulars:

Canon 80D
Canon EF 100-400 1:4.5-5.6 L IS lens
Canon EF 1.4x II extender giving a 560mm with this pic
F11, 1/800 sec, ISO500

This is the rotunda ceiling of the New Mexico state capitol building in Santa Fe. I thought it made a nice abstract photo.

Another one from our trip. Not sure what kind of beetle but the combination of the textures on the beetle's back and the seeds on the flower it was on worked really well.

The distinctive shield shape makes me think it's a type of (seriously, now) stinkbug.

My favorite place....

Meadow Lake. I like the eerieness of the dead trees and darkness. There are no meadows anywhere near here. Perhaps it was a meadow before PGE dammed it?

Here's a shot of the gallows right beside the old Tombstone, Arizona Cochise County courthouse. There are a number of politicians I think might deserve to walk up those 13 steps and meet their maker - and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Same goes for soldiers who desert their posts to go over to the enemy side. Just sayin'.

A bit of fall color from two weeks ago. Blue Knob State Park in central Pennsylvania.

A tribute to "Chumly". He loved to sleep, hunt small game, lick plastic bags, and beat up his brother. He passed away in August at 8 years of age.

A bit of a brag here. I had been after this derelict for about 10 years. I finally made a deal with the lady that owned it and trailered it down from WA to AZ. The before and after pics.

That is NOT me in the picture. It's a chap who helped me load it out.

It's a baby Wookiee! Chewbacca's "mini me" for sure!

Finally finished all my pics from the trip down to the Rio Grande Valley yesterday. I thought I would post one or two of my favorites from each day, putting them up once a day. Here is my favorite from day 1.



Alligator eye.
