I like the graceful ballerina pose photo the best. Thank you for the comment on my in-flight photos. I've finally learned the secret is to hold the shutter release down and keep ripping off shot after shot. Then back home I throw out the rubbish finding that the odds are in your favor one or two photos will be presentable. Fast shutter speed is essential too. Give it a try next time out.

You certainly have a good eye. The pictures are not only good ... the composition is wonderful. I love all of them, but the reflection is my favorite.
Nice work.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie. For more cute critters, click the above widget.
