More Crystal Springs Photos



 
Kris and I started our adventure Sunday by photographing Egrets.




 

 


 
Sunday was a great day to catch birds in flight!



I like this photo because the fuzzy white dots in the background are Egrets.




 
The flora was also beautiful, even the spider web.

Miscellaneous Photos from Saturday




 
While work was being done on the tree, I found some things around the house and practiced using my new lens.

Tree Removal




 
Randy and Lavonne worked all day Saturday on our tree.

More photos from Sunday


 Always up for an adventure, I was quick to say let's go when Kris said she'd go back to see the pelicans with me if I wanted to go.  We left home at 5am this morning and were blessed with a gorgeous sunrise.

Another Sunrise at Crystal Springs

 
One pelican actually flew right over our heads.  I'm told his wingspan is 9 feet!

Butterflies & Bees in my Garden








Sunday, following my first lesson, I practiced shooting some butterflies and bees in my front flower garden. It was fun to see the pollen on the bees legs.

My First SLR Lesson




I went to the Sunken Gardens on Saturday with Kris for my first SLR lesson. What a blast. As Caitlin says, "Everyone should have a friend like Kris."
