"Blue Herons on Lake Fork"
These incredible birds build their nests in the tops of huge dead trees in the boat lane at Lake Fork. All three birds landed in the nest and we watched as the momma and baby (I assume) pushed dad out.  It was quite comical to watch. 
This was taken handheld with a 18-105mm DX lens with VR on lens and camera, while standing in a boat that is stopped but still moving slightly.  I am struggling to get clear, sharp detailed shots of these amazing creatures from the boat.  
Any suggestions, tricks?  
Thank you all so much for your very kind comments on my "Bessies Keys"  photo.  It means so much to have my shots looked at by such talented photographers. 
Enjoy this day, it will not be repeated

Green anemone at low tide with small crab (middle left) and shell bits attached to its body, near McInnes Island, BC

At low tide these anemones pull in their tentacles and look like a blob on the rock. The sides of their bodies are covered with adhesive structures that attach bits of shell, rock and seaweed. When closed up at low tide the attached material causes the anemone to look like a bed of crushed shell. The bits of debris probably reflect light to keep the anemone cooler and reduce water loss at low tide, or the debris they collect could be dispersing wave action as the tide ebbs and flows each day. 

For a photo of a pink anemone with its body completely covered with shell bits, and for a couple nice photos of large colourful groups of ochre stars see here: http://goo.gl/eQsMJ
Hi there my ever so loyal daily friends from your not so daily friend....  ;-)  

This is a man and his son on their way to Pendelton, Oregon.  He stated that his son gradated this year and they thought they would do something really different to celebrate it so they would go on horseback and one pack mule to Pendleton from Roy, Washington which I would say is about 60 miles from here. 

I went on a pack trip once when I lived in California the year before we moved to Washington state.  We lived near Fresno, CA. and took the pack trip in King's Canyon National Park.  It was really fun.  I should try to dig up a photo I took on the trip.  I believe I was 14 and really interested in photography even at that age.  

I would have taken a wider shot but I had my 100mm 2.8 macro lens on

6/20/13 - Erygium and the Space Needle in Seattle Center.  I had seen the erygiium in the garden at the Chihuly exhibit and wanted to get underneath the flowers to take a shot.  I lay down on the ground but still could not get underneath the flowers (really, bracts).  Finally, I just held my camera under the flowers and pointed it up and took the shot.  I was surprised to find that I'd gotten the flowers, as well as the Space Needle, which is next to the Chihuly exhibit.  The composition is a little busy but I rather like it, anyway.  What do you all think?

Thanks so much for making my latest posting from the Chihuly exhibit the #1 shot for the day.  Certainly made my day!

another day of great images, didn't have time to comment
Out of Control - Monster Truck
I think he got his name from the massive Out of Control money spent to make this beast.
June 20th 2013 - nice weather we are having and of course nice sunsets
JUNE 20 2013.
Need little help here. I know this is a 1968 SS Camaro 396 four speed. But the crawl hood looks like it is off a 69. 
The owner of the car is in the neon shorts. And guy standing behind him is the husband to the young lady and  just bought this car for her i think it sold for around  $25,000.

Saw this beautiful honeysuckle plant in a dark corner under some trees while walking the dog last night
