A recent afternoon, Brad and I headed to our Irene Lake outpost cabin to determine the work projects still remaining for the season (and relax a little away from the phone). On my stroll down the beach looking for tiny treasures of nature for my crafting (more info to come), I spotted this cottonwood daggar caterpillar on a stroll of its own. I wonder why it decided to go over instead of around the pine cone!
Photo Tip: For all my intimate landscape (close-up) images, until a add a macro to my pack, I use my largest zoom lense at maximum zoom. I can maintain a less threatening distance from the subject. With max zoom, I adjust the manual focus and then move my body to maintain focus rather than adjust the focus ring. Naturally, for still life, I would have the camera on a tripod but for subjects on the move, I prefer to fine-tune the focus with my body. Give it a try.

long suffering Lindor
While I watched, through the lense of my camera, these ducklings nap…
I heard some activity behind me, then silence.
Using my iPhone as a rear-view mirror, this is what I saw:
Sweet, ever-playful Lindor waited patiently for my attention.

We’ve had some wild winds stirring up Agimak Lake. The ‘kids’ love it!
(un)real colour
Some nights the setting sun turns the sky the most amazing shades of pink.
Rarely, do we get this vibrant a violet.

It’s graduation time. Here’s my wish for Marc, Meagan, Hali R and Amy D.
