Morning Bumblebee

This is another image from the foggy morning earlier in the week. A close up filter was used in front of the wide angle lens putting the lens about 3 inches from the flower. I don't use this technique very often but every now and then it helps get the message across.

Horsethief Butte

This is a view on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge.  As you head upstream the land opens up to prairie habitat.  Horsethief Butte is a climbing and rappelling center and crowded with enthusiasts on weekends.

Scientist or artist?

What do you see?  Do you see bracts, sepals, and petals?  Do you see a bright, energetic morning?  That's the beauty of photography.  Photographed in Burnett Co., WI.
