Photo Source: Sheila Brown -Two American painted lady butterflies dining on some light pink wildflowers in our field in summer. I followed these two little butterflies around this field for quite a while before I finally got a shot of them together.They were never still for long, flitting back and forth from one little flower to another. Apparently they finally found a spot where they wanted to stay for a moment!
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -Spring is just around the corner and the wild turkey are feeling a little "frisky"! There was a small group of turkey crossing our pond damn on this particular morning.The Toms were all fluffed up and their tail feather all fanned out, as they strutted their stuff for the ladies. Although the ladies did not seem to interested, they were busy finding small insects and seeds in the grass.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -It may not officially be spring yet, but the wild turkey think it is. They are beginning to fan their tail feathers and do their little dance for the ladies.This picture was taken from my front yard where the wild turkey and the white-tail deer and enjoying an early morning get together. They are quite relaxed around each other but no too happy that I walked outside to take their picture.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -Apparently, I caught these two bluebirds during an argument of the bird bath one afternoon.Mr. Bluebird appears to be telling Mrs. Bluebird that it is his turn in the bath and she was not invited. As I watched these two, he never let her in the bird bath until he was finished.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -This cute little black-capped chickadee was perched in a tree right outside my dining room window. I was planning on getting some bird pictures this day, so I already had my tripod set up.These little chickadees are usually flitting back and forth and not still for very long. This one must have eaten his fill at the bird feeder as he sat here for quite a little while before flying off.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -This was found while walking in the woods. It is my guess that a hunter shot this deer and then couldn't find it. Deer will sometimes run for quite a distance before falling.I imagine that coyotes did find the deer and "cleaned up" the rest of the mess, leaving the head and antlers behind. I am sorry for the deer, but I am not going to leave these beautiful antlers behind.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -While going for a walk one morning, I caught the sun coming up over these electric lines that run just to the south of our property.I stood along the side of the road, camera in hand and cars driving by, waiting for the sun to reach the exact spot that I wanted it. People probably thought I was crazy, but I think it was worth it!I would like to get a shot of the sun "craddled" in the V of one of these poles. Perhaps on another early morning walk!
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -Like most people, I love taking pictures while at the zoo. This picture was taken while at the Oklahoma City Zoo several years ago.This cougar, or sometimes called mountain lion or puma, was in a glass enclosure. Glass can sometimes be a little challenging. First you have to pay attention to any glare there might be on the glass.Secondly, there are usually a lot of little hand and finger prints on the glass, so be sure to take some cleaning wipes with you! Be sure and put your lens as close to the glass as you can, leaving room for your lens to focus.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -This picture was taken last summer, it's not warm enough yet to see very many butterflies although I have seen a couple.On this day, I was walking along our drive way where there are some small mimosa trees and I spotted this beautiful little butterfly.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -For the last 2 years, there have been Great Horned owls nesting in a tree about a mile from us. The tree is about 50 yards away from the road and the property is fenced off. I spotted the female sitting on the nest a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to get a good opportunity to get a picture of her.Any time that hubby and I are driving down the road and there is no one behind us, I have him stop in the side of the road and I try to get a picture. (It's not very often that there is no one on the road behind us.) I need to get closer and higher and can't figure out how I am going to do that! Photo Source: Sheila Brown -This is a picture I managed to take last year, with better light. The best I can tell, the owl on the tree branch is the mother and there are two almost grown owlets in the nest. I am going to continue to try to get some better pictures! Wish me luck!
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -While hubby and I were shopping one day, he found this beautiful basket of pink and white cyclamen flowers. Yes, I just had to have them and of course, I had to take some pictures of them!I don't have any special back drops or lighting for my photography, so I use my imagination and what I have around the house to improvise.For this shot, I took the pot outside for better lighting and for the black background, I took an old black coat and laid it on the ground on the patio. It took several shots and lots of re-arranging but I am pretty pleased with the way this came out.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -Today was a beautiful day! The temperatures were in the high 60's and there was very little wind, so it was really nice outdoors! I took my camera and went for a walk around the house.Almost hidden by all the leaves were my hyacinth flowers. Only the one is blooming right now but there are several others trying to find the sun through all the leaves.I had to get down on my hands and knees to smell the beautiful scent of these flowers, so I just took a picture while I was down there! :)
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -These are two flowers from a pot of cyclamen that I bought the other day. They are such a pretty pink and just gorgeous in the pot too. I have tried several different shots to capture the beauty of these light pink beauties, but so far I have not been successful.It has been cloudy and windy, so taking them outside has not been a option. I selected these two blooms and took several pictures of them inside, but I am still not happy with my results.I wanted a pink background, but didn't have anything pink to use. What I did for this shot was take my granddaughters pink and purple Minnie Mouse table and turned it on its side. Then I sat the little vase I had these two flowers in ad sat in about 2 feet away from the table, so I would have a blurred background.I like the background here, but I am still not happy with the color or detail of the flowers. Today, the sun is shinning, so I may take them outside and try taking more pictures.
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -This picture was taken at the Oklahoma City zoo a few years ago. It reminds me of how I used to feel after a night of partying too much! These two bears look like they could have terrible hang overs!
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -I don't know what type of plant this is, but I was amazed by all the tiny little dew drops that these leaves held.This plant caught my eye as I was walking through a park one morning. The morning sun was shining on it and the leaves just sparkled so beautifully, there was no way I could pass up a picture!
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -This handsome redhead was hopping around on the ground just outside my living room window the other morning.I just knew that once I took time to get my tripod out, he would be gone. So, this is handheld with my heavy 300 mm-600 mm lens. The lens is so heavy, I have a hard time holding it steady for more than a second or two!
Photo Source: Sheila Brown -While camping out at Lake Murray, here in southern Oklahoma, one weekend, I happened to catch this beautiful mockingbird as he flew from one tree top to another.I love the way his feathers spread out in flight and showed off their beautiful black and white contrasting colors that you don't normally see when they are not flying.
