Picture-A-Week 2018 - Week 43

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, October 22 and Sunday, October 28.

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Cruising is a wonderful way to enjoy retirement!

Stopped counting a few years ago -- have done over 140 cruises.

 

Sorry about that . Here's some sunshine and a zebra butterfly .

Though it looks like a crystalline sculpture of Cheetos by an artist with too much spare time, it is actually the top arc of a half inch stream of water cascading into my nephew's pool. It was a pleasant family gathering with cute children playing in the water and a new baby making the rounds, so I’m sure the fact that I was shooting pictures of a stream of water says how dedicated I am to the photographic arts and how creativity can strike spontaneously at any time. On the other hand, it may also say something about my minor anti-social tendencies and general aversion to venues overrun with a pack of semi-feral children.

Here are MOSTLY birds and wildlife - though I also was inspired to 'shoot the moon' too - I hadn't really done a moon shot in a few years, and hadn't yet tried one with my FE100-400mm GM lens and 1.4x teleconverter...it's a lovely sharp combo, so on that Thursday night taking out my trash, I noticed how bright the moon was and how clear the sky, and decided to run in and grab the camera & lens for a quick handheld of the moon:

 

On to the wetlands now...here's a cute little pied-billed grebe showing off his feathers int he sun:

 

And an alligator being sneaky, popping up through the water plants for a peek around:

 

A ruby-throated hummingbird looking for the perfect flower to feed:

 

The monarchs are in town, passing through and enjoying the same flowers as the hummingbirds:
