Little Critters
A few weeks ago I decided to get some more pets, because our 2 cats and 2 snakes were not enough. During a trip to the pet store to get food for the snakes we decided to get some hamsters to add to our collection of pets. I would prefer to get a dog, but [...]
A Day for the Birds
Birds make for a very interesting and very challenging subject for photography. Their size and distance from the photographer requires a large zoom and some careful focus. Their speed and the fact that they like to hide behind branches makes it really hard to capture on film. The other day I was out at Ute [...]
Project 365 Fail
When this year began I took on a very challenging project called “Project 365″. The aim of this was to take a photograph every single day for a full year. Well, I made it a month. Why did it fail? Why it failed is an easy answer, I just do not have the time to [...]
Long Blog Absence
I knew before I started this hobby that taking photos, processing them on the computer, and writing blogs about them would take a lot of time, but I was still unprepared for exactly how much time that would take along with everything else I’m doing right now. Taking photographs is the fun and easy part, [...]

Taking Flight
Taking Flight Originally uploaded by JonZenorFor Christmas I got a new Tamron 70-300mm lens which works great at taking nature pictures. I went out to take some animal pictures but all I could find were a few birds. Even they were hard to find.
Fuzzy Birds
In a previous blog I mentioned that my wife and I went to a bed and breakfast near Colorado Springs. My wife and I were not the only ones there. Nearly every day dozens of birds could be seen flying from tree to tree around the area. I was able to get a lot of [...]
Playing on Ice
While Danae and I were up at the cabin last weekend we took a day and went to Green Mountain Falls where we got to have some fun on a frozen lake. We were not alone on the lake, we were joined by several kids, a dog, a couple of swans, and some geese. Sliding [...]
