The icicles hanging from decorative grass were sparkling like a chandelier.

Giant Swallowtail my garden. So beautiful!

Was walking, happened to lookup, and there he was! Great-horned owl sleeping in the pine tree!

Love the blooms of this native flower!

Looked too pretty to just pass by.

So peaceful and quiet.

All alone in front of an old barn, in the middle of nowhere.

I get a lot of butterflies in my gardens, so I take a lot of photos of them.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the Fox River in Oswego. The river was really low, and the frogs were plentiful.

Time

This was taken in the afternoon. The bugs were everywhere, so the frogs were feasting.

Lighting

Natural light. An overcast, warm summer day.

Equipment

Hand held camera.

Inspiration

The frog hopped into a perfect position. How could I pass up this shot?

Editing

Cropped a bit. Also, my camera tends to take photos on the blue side, so I shift all my photos a bit to the green spectrum.

In my camera bag

My Olympus OMD camera and Olympus 75-300mm lens

Feedback

Be patient, and watch.
