I know it’s been a long time since my last post. I have been swamped at work and have had very little time to shoot or write. I forced myself to take a few pictures today, though. My wife had gotten some flowers a few days ago and I used them as a little subject….

A Gorilla Portrait (and more)
I went to the zoo for about an hour yesterday. Just a quick jaunt to get some walking in and snap a few photos. It being cool, with kids in school and in the mid afternoon on a Friday, there weren’t a lot of people. One benefit to that was having the gorilla exhibit more…
Spider Feast
Saw this tiny little spider (about 1 cm long) about to feast on a ladybug right after I got home from work today. Grabbed my camera just with the little clip on flash and got some nice shots! Boy…these little guys look a lot more ferocious when you get close:
Fall Reflections
It’s fall, and the leaves are just starting to turn. You never know what you’re going to find after a gentle rain:

Creating a Child of Darkness
Ok, well, not for real…just photographically. I occasionally take part in a ‘weekly assignment’ at one of the forums I frequent, where users submit photos on a weekly theme. A winner is picked (though there’s no real prize), but the main thing is to get you thinking outside the box and to try new photographic…
The Night Storm Approaches
