Taken from my driveway with my D200 mounted on my Vixen 100mm f/9, (that's about 900mm in camera focal length). taken at 1/200 sec, adjusted exposure in Lightroom, should have decreased shutterspeed to 1/100 sec.

Holcomb Creek Falls

Went to this falls with my daughter several times.

Eggs

I watched butterflies, actually called Queen's, land on a Passion Vine and lay egg after egg. Here is one on the end of a vine runner.

Minnehaha Falls

It's been a long time since I've been waterfalling in North Georgia. I need to try to get back up that way in the fall.

Another of the Waterfall collection of 2005, it's almost been 5 years.

Slow photography times, I set up the camera on the deck again this weekend and shot about 3 hours of star trails, made it into a video as well.

Barrel Licked Bock

Beer, I just love it.

Gordian III, 29 July 238 - 25 February 244 A.D.

Silver antoninianus

I just recently got into a little coin collecting again. I've done it since way back when I was in Jr. High, my family ran a few ice cream trucks and we got lots of different coins and I used to collect the odd and older ones. At one time I even had an original $2 from the 50's, I think my younger brother lost it when I was in college.

Bang!

Another fireworks photo.

Melbourne Beach, Indiatlantic Florida

I spent the whole week on the east coast of Florida and only went to the beach twice and then both times I never stepped into the water.

Monarch

Butterfly

Little dude

A fritillary butterfly caterpillar. It's a tiny sucker right now.

Port Canaveral

Docks near Rusty's Seafood where the parents and I had lunch. There were a bunch of these guys hanging out at the dock, each on his/her own post.

Happy 4th

I hadn't been to a fireworks deal for several years. I think the last one was sometime in 2007 or so. Got Mom and Dad to drive me over since I flew in and didn't have transportation. I think we all had a nice time except for the mosquitoes.

Inside Florida Beer Company

Went for a trip to the Florida Beer Company in Melbourne, FL They were bottleing beer but still was able to serve us a few tastings. Another group, a mom and daughter I believe were there as well. The tasting room was upstairs and had a small view down into some tanks inside.

Wild Blue Yonder

On the flight to Melbourne, FL

I love window seats but I wish they cleaned the windows better.
