Another Beautiful and Colorful Fall Day in Alabama
What a difference just a few days makes in the fall. This is what our tree (and swing) looked like this afternoon. Â Compare that to this Fall Has Finally Arrived in Alabama, and My Swing Loves It, taken just a few days ago. It was a totally different time of day of course, but the…

Coypu Nutria or Marmot or Prairie Dog Relaxing
This image of the day is a little different. This is a Coypu or Nutria, sort of like a beaver with a cat-like tail. This, not so little, guy just sat here with me for about an hour. Animals can be a lot of fun to photograph, if they cooperate, and they usually don’t. When…

Macro Photography of a Spider Web in Morning Dew
Something about spiders and spider webs makes for some neat subjects. Add a little morning mist or dew and they really light up. Macro photography is something I really like as well, and the combination of dew on the web and its size made for a great macro photography opportunity. This image of the day…
