Butterfly (Doris longwing)
Academy of Sciences, San Francisco 2009

At the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, there is a feature called the Rain Forest. It’s not big, but it was interesting enough. There were butterflies and birds in the place and I had a good time trying to photograph the butterflies.

This is just one of the few varieties of butterflies found in the rain forest at the academy.

Dew on a Daisy
Galt, California 2009

A ladybug is not normally seen on a daisy, those found in my front yard, that is.

I picked up the ladybug and placed it on the daisy just so I could take a picture of it on the dewy filled daisy!

Spider
Consumnes River Preserve, California 2009

Just one of several spiders that we saw, within a few feet of each other, waiting for its prey to land on its web.

Water, Sun, Trees
Consumnes River Preserve, California 2009

I love the color picture of this scene, but I wanted to see if black and white is any less pretty. The reflection of the sun on the water blinded me a little and I had to move to a spot where the reflection was not blinding me when I took this picture. I love the fact that the blinding reflection is even more pronounced in the black and white! I can’t say if that is a good thing or not – I am, after all, still learning what makes a good black and white picture!

A Little Butterfly
Galt, California 2009

There were bees, flies, and butterflies buzzing and flitting among the flowers in my front yard today. Naturally, I just had to take snapshots of them buzzing and flitting from flower to flower.
