I am finally taking the time to get a blog going, and I hope to add to it regularly. To start it off, here are a few photos that I've taken over the past year or so that I recently printed to hang up on my walls.
This little guy is a baby Golden Eagle.
I saw his mother on an abandoned windmill on the road into Sumner Lake State Park near Ft Sumner, New Mexico. I came back later, climbed up the windmill, and took a few pictures. The mother had flown off and kept a close eye on me from high in the sky, and once I left, she immediately returned to her nest. There were actually two chicks in the nest, but I didn't want to get any closer to them than I did. As it was I was concerned that one of them might try to fly off to keep away from me.
This next one is just a dragonfly (mosquito hawk).
It's a favorite of my daughter, so I wanted to be able to take it for her.
A decent enough sunset over Clayton Lake SP.
We saw even better ones, but you know how a picture just never does a sunset justice.
Once again a picture just doesn't do justice to the rainbows we saw at Eagle Nest Lake SP.
Because of the summer monsoon rains that came most afternoons in New Mexico, we had awesome rainbows almost every day there.
This last picture was my experiment with shooting flowers up close with sunset clouds over the mountains in the background.
I like it, but it didn't quite come out like I had visualized it.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures. They were all taken while on a summer trip throughout New Mexico that Trish Masters led in 2009.

Loved the pics. They are great! Did you take these with the Canon?
they all look so familiar---we had some great times last summer didn't we. it was an awesome time---and the fishing wasn't too bad either.

Yes, Judy, these are all taken with the Canon Powershot SX110. Some people were asking what camera I used, so I thought I'd list it here. Great camera to be semi-compact.
