"You get to keep what you kill so make sure when you have your target in sight you never forget those exact words." A wise tiger much like this old boy I recall only real. Belonged to Siegfried & Roy. That's business 101. It translates to many many languages and its a good reminder that anyone can be successful in life no matter what your background. Even the girl next door. Keep what you kill.
I really want to make sure I look my best this evening so I am taking extra care over my make up. Isn't make up wonderful you can make just the slightest adjustment with some eye shadow or liner or use a slightly lighter or darker shade of lipstick and you can look so much different which, in turn, can make you feel so much better and much more confident.

Caputred this photograph in early November down in Grand Haven, Michiagn. Thanks to Andy Atkins for the motivation to get out there and try it!
I watched this squirrel gather twigs and branches with leaves and then disappear into a hole in the side of this tree with them, we are getting cooler temps now
As I've said before, one of my goals in photographing birds was to get this particular resident species, the Oak Titmouse. (Second on the list was the White-crowned Sparrow in breeding plumage.) My first two cameras didn't have the range for avian photography of any kind ... well, with the first exception when an Oak Titmouse popped up on a newly planted five foot orange tree right in front of me.
Still, I persisted, and I think I have 15 pretty good images of this titmouse. One in particular was my prize and was the first image I hung on my wall. (flic.kr/p/ufUbT1) That's not the reason that I never posted this image. The reason for that was that I wasn't on SmugMug or later Flickr, and so I just printed this, put it in an album, and there it stayed until this morning.
I was in the archives again, and I must say I really like this shot. The way the tail just clears and follows the curve of the piece of rotten oak which was also used as a granary for Acorn Woodpeckers (which is why I was there taking pictures that day in March). More than that, there appeared to me that there was movement in this pose. He actually had just landed, and was already about to take off again. 1/640th was my go to prep speed, and it worked very well here. The light was good, too. And that's why I'm starting off the week for you (I can look at it any time) with one 3 gram Oak titmouse on a Live Oak (that's the name, not the description).
I've described this bird many times. Let's just let it go with this: The Oak titmouse (Baeolophus inornatus) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. The American Ornithologists' Union split the plain titmouse into the oak titmouse and the juniper titmouse in 1996, due to distinct differences in song, preferred habitat, and genetic makeup. It sleeps in deep cavities, and what better place than a woodpecker hole in an oak or yucca. We are surrounded by thousands of acres of three of the twenty species of oak in California: valley oak, interior live oak, or blue oak. The Valley Oak is the largest oak in the state, and we have 30+ heritage oaks within a quarter mile of my front door. (Heritage oaks are huge, some with canopies 100 feet or more across, 70 feet tall, and with trunks about 25 feet in diameter. How can you tell if one is a "heritage oak?" Easy: every heritage oak is numbered with a metal tag about 8 feet off the ground ... and that's all I'll say. They are also between 200 and 350 years old. And every one has an Oak titmouse in it! I just made that up, but it's where I'd start to photograph these little flitters.)
Getting feather details on these all-white beauties can be a challenge. But get the right light and angle and the results can be very pleasing.

Evergreens are those interesting conifers that simply are trying to live up to their name. Well, it is not quite like that, they don't really try to live up to anything other than reproduction and getting some sunshine.
Getting lost with the right person is an amazing experience.
Lately, I've been in the mood to create more adult images. While I don't shoot with male models often, I happened to know a really sexy one who lives close to me, and he had time in his schedule!
On this day, I walked over 10 miles on the trails of Kensington Park, and this was the only Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) seen. But, silent deer that freeze in position are very hard to detect in heavy vegetation. Because of their coloration, they are also hard to detect in winter's naked woods. Males, like this one in the picture shed their antlers each year, regrow them in the spring.
The little soldiers had their hands full with the imminent invasion.

I think I enjoy the behind the scenes shots more than most of the photos I get from a shoot. That is mainly because I like candid photos, something that is telling a story. The adventure is in the journey not the destination.
