Adorable little red panda climbing around in her tree. Probably the most adorable animal on earth, what a shame that they are endangered.
Feel free to add some tags if you thing that I missed something!
I hope you enjoy, I always love visiting her whenever I get the chance.

Found this little guy perched over a tiny pool of brackish water that was only about 3x3 feet but contained a hoard of little gnats. The pool was situated 10 yards away from the ocean and was surrounded by marsh grass and Pickleweed. He posed nicely for numerous shots. This image was one of my favourite from the opportunity as I liked both the pose and also the bokeh.

Wow, my hiatus turned into a month. So much for 365, mine will be 28 days less or so. This was supposed to be a stress free project with no guilt, so I'm simply going to pick up today and keep going. Maybe one day I will fill in those missing days, but for now...I'ts march 1st. Day 60?
February was a rough month, as I say in my house with no heat for day 2. argh. March, you better be a good one! There were fun things, too, but still keeping me busy. We had a house guest for a week, a very good friend. Then both kids birthdays back to back. Little girl got pneumonia and then had an allergic reaction to the penicillin. Then our furnace went out (and is still out-getting second opinion today). Course her friend party is at our house tomorrow morning....may have to reschedule which is really sad. Lets hope life gets easier soon! Ha! Like it ever does....just keep truckin' I guess!
Glad to be back! I know flickr with all you lovely people and friends will make life a little brighter and definitely more beautiful.
This is a red peony blossom from my sister's garden in Durham, North Carolina. While we were there, it seemed as if everything was in bloom.
Strobist info (for those who are interested). Because we were away from home I did not have all of the gear that I would normally use at home. There was no light stand, mounting kit nor a large soft box. Specifically for this kind of situation. I had recently purchased a small 8.6 inch square softbox called the Lastolite EZbox. It's small, light weight, very well made and attaches directly to the flash instead of an adapter ring. It contains two inner baffles which provide good diffusion. It's so small and light weight that it's easy to hand hold if the camera is on a tripod. It also folds up easily for storage and portability. For this shot, I hand held a YN560 attached to the Lastolite softbox, camera left, at 9 o'clock, about 4 inches from the flower. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. For fill light, my sister hand held a silver reflector disk at the right side. These boxes sell new for around $80. The flash can be purchased new for around $50. A pair of Yongnuo triggers which act as both trigger and receiver sell for around $33 or $16.50 each. This is pretty inexpensive by photography standards.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
