Giant Mums
I had an opportunity to photograph these gorgeous giant mums our dear friend grew at home a few years ago. I happened to come across these pictures during this coronavirus pandemic days. Hope you enjoy viewing them.
Hummingbirds
I love taking photographs of hummingbirds because it’s fun and challenging as they seem to be moving all the time. These were the images of the adorable hummingbirds I captured at a local zinnia flower bed two years ago.
Reflection of Black-eyed Susan
Black-eyed Susan flower as seen from a dew drop: I went to Brookside Gardens yesterday with my Olympus mirrorless camera (E-M1 Mark II) with 70-300 mm lens (equivalent to 140-600 mm) for the hummingbird shot but was disappointed to only see one. Instead I just […]
Glittering Dragonfly
I took this photo using my Olympus Mirrorless camera with 12-200 mm (equivalent of 24-400mm) lens. Camera setting were ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/160 sec. and zoom at 200mm. Sunlight made the magic so the wings looked like glittering jewels.

McKee Beshers Wetland
On the way to McKee Beshers sunflower field the two days ago (7/22) and after the stop at horse ranch, I also stopped at the wetland on west end of McKee Beshers where we used to take some beautiful white egrets. Unfortunately, the open water […]
McKee Beshers Sunflower Field – 2020.7.22.
I went to McKee Beshers sunflower field early this morning primarily for shooting birds, gold finches and Indigo buntings. I got lucky to capture both, but wait I also spotted a big and beautiful butterfly and she graciously posed for me to take a shot! […]
Dragonflies at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
It was hot and humid when I visited Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens for photographing the lotuses last weekend. Apparently it was the kind of weather that attracted so many dragonflies.
