Last Chrysalis

A chrysalis matures in the early days of October. The monarch butterfly in this chrysalis needs to get it moving. The window for migration is closing quickly. The hint of wing patterns suggests the eclose is close. The butterfly did eclose successfully (not a certainty with the many parasites around) and left for Mexico on a summer October day. We had moved the chrysalis inside in small screen…

Black-Crowned Night Heron is Back

Black-Crowned Night Heron is Back

Photographed with a Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm lens on a Nikon D90. You could say Black-Crowned Night Heron‘s Back, too. We featured a different black-crowned night heron in a previous post. This time, we see the flip side on the same species. The two long white feathers comprise a plume that is held erect in courtship displays. But today the bird is just chillin, looking for fish near…

Brilliant Sugar Maple

Taken with my favorite lens, the Nikon AF FX Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D. Sugar Maple leaf in the late afternoon autumn sun. The leaf was held perpendicular to the sun in order give definition to the texture of the leaf. Note the sympathetic colors in the autumn foliage in the background. Nikon D90. f/8. Processed in Aperture. Not sure what I had for lunch that day.

Red Face at f/32

Red Face at f/32

Taken with a Micro-Nikkor 60mm on a Nikon D90.

Autumn meadowhawk dragonflies are the last dragonflies to leave the local ponds in the fall. They stick around, as long as the weather holds, into November. November this year was particularly favorable. There were still half a dozen of these actively breeding on November 17; that is the latest I have noticed them. As the plants and animals of…

Autumn Oak Cathedral (Rokinon Fisheye)

Autumn Oak Cathedral (Rokinon Fisheye)

I don’t often use the Rokinon Fisheye, but when I do, it’s awesome. The forest canopy in autumn color is a prime subject. Here we have a northern white oak on the right, and a chestnut oak on the left. I am not excited about the dark trunk on the right, but working a flash with a fisheye is challenging. I went with the dark trunk over the obviously-flash version. As for the lens, I have the later…

Spreadwing Damselfly in Autumn Color

Spreadwing Damselfly in Autumn Color

A spreadwing damselfly among the colors of autumn. Spreadwings are damselflies; they share the slender body of most damselflies but tend to hold their wings away from their bodies rather than fold neatly over the abdomen. This species is also quite large for a damselfly, at least two inches long. We were enjoying an unusually warm spell in early November; several dragonflies and this damsel were…

Ruddy Turnstone

The ruddy turnstone is among my favorite shorebirds because his name is easy to remember. This one is transitioning to his breeding plumage in the light of a Sanibel sunrise. Taken with Nikon D90 and Nikkor 70-300 VR ED.

Brown Pelican and His Shadow

Brown Pelican and His Shadow

As is customary, the brown pelicans were literally at their posts at the boat ramp on Tarpon Bay, Sanibel Island, Florida. These two had a habit of doing the same thing at the same time, albeit in different directions at this moment on a fine April evening. They were on posts about 20 feet apart. Nikon’s Nikkor 70-300mm AF-S ED VR extended a full 300mm compresses the field.

Black-crowned Night Heron

I more mileage out of my Nikkor 70-300mm AF-S VR lens recently on a trip to Florida than I have had in a long time. This black-crowned night heron was hunting in 6-mile Cypress Slough, Fort Meyers, Florida. He put on an excellent show for several minutes. This particular shot is the first one I took that day, in the first few minutes of our encounter.

Deptford Pink

Deptford Pink, Dianthus armeria, lingering after summer has been gone a week. Note the mature anthers, say no more.

Image taken with a Micro-nikkor 60mm AF macro lens–an excellent value for miserly photographers.

Allegheny Front IR

Click to see this image at Flickr.

This is the view from the Allegheny Front hawk watch, looking northeast over Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Taken with a 720nm modified Nikon D70, with what turns out to be a very dirty sensor. I bought it used and it shows. Hopefully I healed them all, but every time I look I see more.

I am experimenting with a new handling of photographs in blog posts. I was…
