That looks like it was a lot of fun. Last time I was in Vegas, they had some of those glass works that look like coral/flowers, that stuff is amazingly cool.

This one seemed pretty interested in my camera. Started watching me from across the yard and would snap its head towards me every time it heard the camera shutter, slowly but surely it moved in closer and closer till it got some food.

Meant to share this yesterday but got busy. Saw this moose on my morning dog walk around the corner from my house. It was nice enough to remain in its same spot to allow me go get my D70. Pretty hard to walk 2 dogs and carry the camera.

Moon is in Eagle River by North Fork Eagle River and the duck is at local park where we take our daughter to play and feed and the ducks, geese and sea gulls. I was wishing I had my 70-300 lens for the moon shot, it is just to faint but then again it is a broad daylight shot so what am I expecting...

Some shots this morn in a familiar scene... New background images for me :) I was in a hurry for work, but didn't want to miss the shots, so I've got several more, but focus was off. Oh well, there will be other mornings, I'm sure :)

Here's some random shots I took the other day, after I got my audio mixer setup:



It's already getting dusty, thanks to the stupid high winds we have been getting the last couple weeks.

Also, this... thing, crawled out of a pool heater we removed.... it was roughly a bit over an inch, in leg span:

Anyone know what it is? It seemed to be guarding a tiny egg sac under its large "butt"
