Mike's Other Pixtures #8

Had a Friday to myself today ....

That's always the plan .... but of late it hasn't always been the reality.

But today it worked out just the way it's supposed to .... so I had a chance to make a photo safari to the Zoo.

Seemed like it was animals that I don't typically notice .... that were willing to pose today.

This particular seal and her much larger friend were sunning themselves on a rock as I walked by their habitat.

This one seemed very intent on showing, all of us who were watching .... just how flexible she is.

Mike's Other Pixtures #7

One day I found these three adventurers on my patio table.

JJ tells me ....

One is looking to the horizon for their destination.

One is calling On-Star.

The 3rd one is getting ready for a fight .... I think he's just cheering the good news.

Mike's Other Pixtures #6

While you can always count on "some good pixtures" from a trip to the Zoo.

You can't always count on the subject you want .... and a little mystery to every trip.

Without question, the big apes, Orangutans in particular, are my favorite subjects at the Denver Zoo.

But they are very definitely a some days yes, some days no subject.

I am not normally a "shoot thru the glass" kind of guy. But that was the opportunity that was available on this day.

Imagine my delight .... when I found the tools in Lightroom to take away pretty much all of the downside from a thru the glass shot.

Mike's Other Pixtures #5

When you embark on a project to take a pixture a day .... you find yourself looking at the world differently.

On a good day .... almost everything you see is a possibility.

On a bad day ... nothing seems to be the right candidate for a pixture.

Linda is a very big fan of Cadbury Creame Eggs.

So in the weeks leading up to Easter the Bunny visits our house often.

I was making this pixture of his latest offering, when I looked away for what I am sure was only a minute .... and look what happened.
