I tried to sneak up on the hawk sitting on the perch to get a closeup photo. That didn’t happen.

I got lucky this bird flew by within range while I had my camera out.

I played around a little bit in Lightroom, darkening the photograph for a silhouette effect.



I particularly like finding flowers with friends. I photographed this pair early in the morning.

I manipulated it in Lightroom by toning down the clarity. (I love the “Clarity” feature in Lightroom.) When I increase the clarity I am amazed at the amount of detail that shows up. This time, however, I decreased the clarity as far as it could go, giving the photograph a somewhat dreamy look.
I drove up Interstate Highway 35 to visit my friends in Moody, Texas. This is what I saw when I parked at their house.

The first thing I think is that we are having watermelon for dessert.
The second thing I think is that although the watermelon rinds are discarded, where they are discarded doesn’t look like a compost pile.

It is not a compost pile. They somehow discovered that the rabbits like to nibble on the watermelon rinds so they put them in a place accessible to the rabbits.
Watermelons: rabbit food. Who knew?
