    It's amazing the things I will see when I do a photo walk. This chick was new for me. I had never seen a baby American Coot before. I thought perhaps it was just hatched, with its lack of down about the head. Imagine my surprise when researching that this was its look!I am always learning and finding new things in my small world as I point my lens at the moment. Truly a face only a mother could love... And yet such unexpected beauty as well. Keep shooting!

    People often wonder why I bring such a large lens to the Zoo. I used a Sony G lens with a focal length of 300-600mm for this shot. When I visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, my objective is to take pictures that don't feel like they were taken at the zoo. In this case, the close-up of the tiger does just that, and you are brought into his focus. You can feel the intensity of his stare!Never stop capturing the moments!

    While waiting for another photographer to finish at Cyclops Arch, I set up my second camera on a small tripod to capture star trails. I'd seen this photogenic cactus earlier in the day when scouting this location and knew it would make a nice foreground for a star trails image. The star trails is a combination of 192 30-second images, put together with StarStaX. I took that resulting image and blended it with the single 30-second foreground image of the cactus using Photoshop. Although there

    I enjoy macro photography highlighting parts of everyday object wee usually overlook. In this picture, I noted the opening of the white rose petals to reveal the reds and oranges of the stamens and pistil against a golden glow formed from the light diffusing through the scene, like the opening of a painted paper fan.
