  1. i enlarged the dragon flies… wow! such detail… i would’ve never ever known they have little fuzzy hairs… and the prisms in their wings from the light reflections… and i wanna know who zentangled their butts?! LOL

    really good shots jan… really good… great color saturation…

    that book… the d7000 bible… jerry sounds like a great find… you’ll have to keep him around ha

    • Jerry and chuck are both dear to me. chuck is a good friend and Jerry is a super nice guy! He is signed up for some course from a photographer in Florida and is not using it right now so he is going to send the course to me to go over!

      He also knows how to get usage of the blinds at the refuge – that is huge!

  2. Wowsers! That’s some camera you have! Of course you have the talent of taking great shots with it. Love the dragonflies! Keep shooting!

    • Karen,

      It has way too many menu choices L:) so I am slowly figuring them out. I am very excited about it since my old camera’s auto focus stopped working and manual does not work great with my eyes anymore.

      The dragon flys were everywhere so had fun while waiting for the birds.

  3. More new toys! The cranes are beautiful. They used to fly over the house when I lived in Michigan, sounding like a bunch of 400 pound pigeons. And the little fluttering birds – Eastern Kingbirds? Nice catch. Those flycatchers are fast!

    Thanks, as always, for sharing. So, what are you waiting for? Go take more pictures! : )

    • I am not sure as what the little bird is? I thought sparrow at first now I am leaning toward a dark eyed Junco.

      The sound the cranes make is loud ha ha but at least they let you know get the camera out.

      I am playing with the macro this evening as it is raining very steady out there and I might melt.

      🙂

  4. The bugs, the bugs, I love your bug or in this case, dragonfly, photos!

    Sandhill cranes are something too. I was fortunate to see them do their mating dance gig when I lived in Fairbanks of all places.

    Glad you’ve got some good photo mentors.

    • Bugs are always interesting and great time consumers. I end up watching them – they bring out the anthropomorphic thinking side of me LOL.

      The cranes should be here in mass soon. Hopefully I will get out to one of the plowed over fields and get some shots. Never seen them do the dance – YET!

      I have been very fortunate in getting to learn from many different folks. I am a pest if in a group of awesome photographers. Sometimes I learn something new and others times they brush me off like a fly on butter.
