Imagine my surprise when two daring geese decided to check out the view from the osprey nest, after the osprey had returned for the season. These two were keeping an eye out in both directions. Beneath the nest, two friends kept watch for dangers below. So far I have seen osprey, eagles, great blue herons, geese and various little birds on the nest. Popular place!!

Spring Colors and Reflections
In May, we spent a weekend looking at spring flowers enjoying
the beautiful weather. These are some of
my favorites. I got the dark background
on the pink columbine and bluebells by using the Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-up Flash System. I have 3 mini flashes that
light the flower and I use a fairly small aperture f/22 – f/29. It’s kind of complicated. (It’s also fun to use, because most people
haven’t seen one before and it creates a little attention at times.)
I saw the lovely reflection from nearby azaleas and had
to act quickly when some geese swam by.
I couldn’t decide which photo I prefer.
In some ways the green reflection is better because it doesn’t distract
from the goose. The pink reflection on
the other hand, is quite unique and vibrant.
Which picture do you like better?
