Photo Album Preview

As some of you might remember, back in the Spring I was talking to some people involved in my favorite hang-out - Ballard Park - about putting together a photo album of the birds I've shot there. I kept putting it off because there were some birds I wanted to get better shots of than the ones I had; I succeeded in some cases and failed in others. Oh well...

In the meantime, I came to the decision to offer not just a bird album but also an album of my macro shots of flowers and bugs and all. So I finally got it together today and uploaded it online so the people at The Friends of Ballard Park can look at it and decide if they want it. No, I'm not charging for it; this is definitely pro bono, mainly because I think the exposure is more valuable. In any case, if anybody wants to look at it, I've put it here. In the meantime, here are three shots included in the album.

Female Eastern Towhee near the General Hazard Overlook

A Leucage venusta Orchard Spider near the remains of the quarry's stone crusher

And last but not least, Lily-of-the-Valley along the Valley Trail

Let me know what you think.

  5. I am not worthy. You are the master of the macro. What lens do you use again? Love the spider. We don't realise how pretty these bugs are until you catch them up close and personal. My zoom isn't big enough to get too close to our hairy spiders. I love the white flowers? Are they Lilly of the Valley? We don't get them here but I believe they smell pretty awesome.

  7. My favorite flower and scent - Lily of the Valley - and what a stunning photograph. I can almost catch a whiff of the lovely fragrance. The Towhee photo is incredible too.

    You just get better and better...
