:previous: wow I love the ewe eye and the leopard eye!
I don't know what happened to that poor buck's nose in my pic above, but it wasn't bloody or scabby so maybe the black pigmented nose skin was coming off? it looked kind of gross up close, but it didn't seem to bother him and he ate the plums with no problem. |
Mountain Gorilla, little brat kept sticking his tongue out at me.

This thread is in need of some good old fashioned mountain/reflection shots. This is Lone Eagle Peak. I think it's one of Colorado's best hikes, best photography areas, and conveniently, it doesn't show up on any of the "best of" lists.
This is a recent trip, so I haven't had time to pick which ones I like best or play with the photos yet, other than to convert the raws to jpg and add a quick border. My 5-second shrink down blurred them, so sorry about that. The last photo is a vertical pano from my point and shoot, haha. Notice that by about 9am the flights into Denver for the day start intruding on the wilderness. Want a jet-free shot, you better start early! http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9..._0-12-48-0.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9..._0-12-48-0.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9..._0-12-48-0.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9..._0-12-48-0.jpg For good measure, the classic shot, supposedly the "most photographed mountains in Colorado." http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9...819_border.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d9...867-border.jpg |
Love the contrasting colors. Looks suspiciously like a bob ross painting, in a good way.

Nice shots bunt. Looks like the colors are getting prime. I might have to go check it out this weekend.

Great colors bunt, that early storm really made the shot. I'll contrast your yellow with a field of purpple:

Stumbled across a few patches of Coral Fungus in the South San Juan Wilderness earlier this year. Neat stuff. Not terribly common.

The Andes are stunning, such a varied mountain range. Amazing to see the snow and greenery on the same peak.
An old Elephant in Ngorongoro crater. I was told it is rare to see elephants this old as the ivory trade in the 70s and 80s killed most of the mature males. So while common to see 30 year old males today, 50 and 60 year olds, the ones with huge tusks, are much less common. This is the best shot I could get of him. He refused to look at the camera and every time we would move forward he would turn away from us.

Holy jeez... he's all wrinkled. Sagging skin. Like an old human. So cool. His face too, he looks like an old man.

The Spicy Jatropha. A little too soft, but I like the color. It's just a big crop though. I need to break out the macro lenses and play with them again.

Took a trip up to Chicago a few weeks ago and spent some time at Shedd. These pics are from the Jellies exhibit that's there currently. Considering these are from a PnS camera pressed up against the glass, I'm pretty satisfied how these turned out:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...2/IMG_3194.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...2/IMG_3206.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...2/IMG_3199.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...2/IMG_3201.jpg And here's a top-down view of "upside down" jellies, that sit on their head with their tentacles jutting upward: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...2/IMG_3196.jpg and a side view: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...2/IMG_3197.jpg -RBB |
We have a lot of birds around here. Over the last couple of years I've turned into a bit of a birder. We have a couple of Great Horned Owls that live in the wooded property behind our neighborhood. There are at least three of them that hang out in our neighbor's sycamore tree at night and hoot away. I love it. I sleep with windows open at night and can hear them singing. Our living room faces the back with 2 sets of double windows near that tree. In the evening it's so soothing listening to them sing.

These guys are so cool the way they swoop down out of the tree and fly over the neighborhood. They have 5 foot wingspans. That tree was nearly 70 feet tall. I say was because the top 20 feet of it broke off last year during a cold front after being weakened by the drought in 2011. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...85397862_o.jpg |
