It's been many, many years since I've last taken a picture of a Dragonfly. A friend of mine (who is a photographer) said once you find one and it if it flies away, just wait. They always come back to the same spot. That's exactly what I did in this case and sure enough, it came back to same...
Took a short walk last light during golden hour, it was so quiet too. You can hear all the critter rustling in the bushes and birds chirpings. No planes...no cars, it was just peaceful.

I've been in a bit of a funk lately. I haven't really used my camera in a while, heck I even went places to take photos and didn't even take my camera out of the bag or removed the lens cap. I don't know, I just didn't see anything that really sparked my interest. It kind of made me feel...
A simple shot today to share.
I took a quick evening walk and noticed this one and only lonely buttercup just sitting there in the light asking me to take a picture of it, so I did.

I've always wanted to get a shot of Fiddleheads and I have millions of them around my house but I was always too late. So this spring I went out everyday looking for them and finally managed to get a few shot of one Fiddlehead that I really liked that was nearly perfect.

I debated where I should share this photo but I ultimately decided to place it in the b&w gallery because when I took this shot I deliberately wanted it to be in black & white.
I was walking about and noticed this tiny big chilling out on top of one of these leafs from a blooming tree and for...
I searched for a while trying to find the perfect one. There are thousands of these wild violet flowers all over my lawn. I managed to find this one that was almost all alone and had a clean background.
It's kind of simple and clean shot which is what I was going for.

Finally managed to get a decent shot of a bumble bee. I must say, these are not easy to capture. But I'm going to keep trying and trying till I get that winning shot I want. Thought I'd share this one anyways. Took it toward the end of the day as the sun was going down and spent a good 45...
Yesterday evening I happened to take a peek outside while the sun was going down and I notice a ray of light hitting this dandelion so I quickly ran inside and grabbed my camera and voila. I didn't have much time, I mean the light was gone in 30 seconds so I didn't get my settings changed fast...
