View from a Pedal Boat part 2

I've never taken this many turtles pics ever.


I really like this shot

The bird is extra blue b/c I forgot to reset my white balance. Anyways, I pointed the camera up to take this shot. Next thing I know...

It laid a juicy one right smack in the middle of us!! Thank goodness not on the lens. Or us.

Got great views while in a pedal boat. The 70-200 helps as well.

Fish Canyon Falls

Hmm I think this came out a bit blurry


I didn't really follow the rule of thirds, but I still like how this picture came out

Haha, look at her facial expression and body language

Fun hike for all ages! It was my 3rd time going in 2 years. I'll be back again next year.

It was fluttering around pretty fast, but he knew how to stop action it. It's handy having a technically minded boyfriend.

edit *does anyone know what this is? it had a fat body but flew super fast, while in place, like a hummingbird. but do hummingbirds have antennae as Susan pointed out??*

edit* Ahh, Ben solved the mystery. http://www.birds-n-garden.com/hummingbird_moths.html *

Escondido Falls

Look how clear the water droplets are!

Hehe moving water is a fun subject

The background needs to be more blurred like Jer says, but otherwise, I like this pic too.

Perched on the Sill

Ann and I had just gotten back from dinner when we saw this:

Then she had a great idea: "Why don't you take pics from the other side of the window?"

I've taken more butterfly pictures this summer than I have my whole life!

Cloudbursts

I must be an indecisive person. Which one is better?

By the way, going to the beach was such a nice way to end the work week, esp since I was there for work. :)

Butterfly close up

All pictures were taken outside my house right after I washed Hyobin's car. It seemed like the butterfly was playing with us! Anyhoo, it is FREAKING hard to take a picture of a butterfly in flight. Going close up was much easier. Click on the picture for better looks!

So let me know which one you like the best!

Hehe when I showed Johnny this picture he said, "There's flowers in the sky?" Then he looked more closely and realized it was just a reflection on the water. Water's such a fun medium to take pictures of!
