Here's a female seagull. I seem to always shoot photos of the boys, because they're so pretty. She let me get really close before she started to look a bit nervous, too. :)
Here's a shot of Dennis the Menace park, at Lake El Estero, in Monterey, as seen from the other side of the lake.
And because I seem to like to do this, lately, here's a "watercolor" of a rose.
Here is a Canadian Goose that was at Lake El Estero, today. I think they're very pretty birds. Notice how you can see clear through it's nostrils!
I especially like this image, because I didn't have to crop it or anything. I only adjusted the levels a bit in Photoshop, and boosted the saturation a tad. I usually crop my images, so getting a good composition that doesn't need cropping is a real bonus, for me! ;)
