This week’s theme is: Photograph
with camera’s click
an instant of life captured
memories preserved
I received a new camera for Christmas, a Nikon D5100! Hoping to hit the photo memes hard over the next few months as I figure out all of its bells and whistles.

A plethora of rainbows has graced our skies of late. My cell phone was actually able to pick this one up.

I thought the NatureFootstep memes had ended, but I stumbled back across them while clicking through some old links. Very happy to find them active!

Oaken Circle went to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium today. We wanted to get a group photograph at the adopt-an-animal sign with our name on it for adopting the polar bears last year. Then we went on to see a sea lion training session, a baby sea otter, a baby gorilla, and, of course, the polar bears!

A meme of my own invention: Fire Friday. A time to post pictures of those captivating flames.
I thought the flames looked like a phoenix rising from the fire. Admittedly, I have an active imagination.

This photo was not taken in nor altered to black & white. It was just that dreary of a day.

Jetta is very photogenic for a black cat. This was taken over the summer; I just found a folder of unedited pictures.

I have a habit of getting started on projects around midnight, and working on them until they’re either done or I can’t see straight. A photo album for the website was last night’s project. I think it’s finished, for the moment.

This extremely photogenic butterfly let me take over two dozen photos before he got fed up and flew away.

Another image taken back in June from the shore of Lake Ontario. We pulled over for the huge rookery of gulls and cormorants before noticing these guys hanging out in the trees above. I counted maybe two dozen herons hiding in the leaves.

They learn early to squawk. Taken on the shore of Lake Ontario back in June, coming home from the Tim Minchin concert.

Bald Eagle at the National Aviary. Last Thursday, I spent the day there, from several hours before they opened to a bit after closing.

Playful polar bear at the Toledo Zoo. He carried the ball up to the top of the waterfall and then threw it down. He went splashing down after it and leaped into the pool to catch it again. I must have spent an hour watching him. Many more photos of him at the flickr site.

Bald Eagles
Originally uploaded by otterblossom
We’ll see how this works, I just linked my wordpress and my flickr accounts. Now I should be able to spotlight some of the photographs I’m most proud of, more than the little sidebar stream.
Here are the bald eagles at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, from my post birthday trip.
