In wandering around the web, I recently came across the weekly blogging theme “Macro Monday.” It gives me an excuse to take even more photos, so here is my first Macro Monday post.

I took the wasp nest photo with my telephoto lens, as I didn’t want to get close enough for the wasps to notice me. Wasps are beneficial creatures and I’m hoping this nest doesn’t grow too big that our environments clash.

Here’s the second statue we photographed in our light levels session at the Texas Capitol.

A bronco and a rider statue in broad daylight

Taken with a point-and-shoot camera, a few years ago; no tripod.

Ride ’em, cowboy!

Looks as if the bronco is actually rearing up.

Again, this photo was taken with the camera on a tripod. Obviously, I have a lot to learn. Still, the result isn’t too bad. Maybe. If you squint, again.
