I've been playing with florabella textures all morning and I couldn't begin to tell you what all I used but I know I used the milk and honey overlay, how soft and dreamy :) These textures are so fun and Shana's tips and tricks are a wonder!

At first I wasn't sure if this little wasp was dead or alive... it was alive (as you will see later), just curled up having a snooze.

Focus stacked using Zerene.

Thursday 9th of November did not disappoint. Waves of 25 feet plus was entering the cove and the atmosphere was quite simply awesome.

Picking out and tracking waves with my 100-400 was challenging to say the least and it was not safe on the beach either with those pesky breaking waves on the shoreline. Shooting conditions were brutal...

Captured handheld at 400mm I was pleased with some of the shots I came away with. Although going through close to 2k shots not so much fun...

Thanks very much for viewing. Wishing you, your families and friends a very happy Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year :)

I was taking a photo of the insides of a tulip when I noticed this little curl and photographed it instead. :)

She was telling me how the other kids didn't believe how long it took for her hair to get fixed up. How ever long it took, it was worth it.

DOF doe's not come into play here.

Sorry, this is a little grainy because I had to crop it down pretty far to show what I wanted. I'd never noticed this before on a duck. And the same day and place I took this photo, I took another a different duck (that I'll post next) with the same kind of curl. I recall there used to be a hair style called the Ducktail. I wonder if this was the inspiration for that hair-do. (Deschutes River Recreation AreaIMG_1482.jpg)
