Did my usual morning thing. Coffee in one hand camera in the other. Noticed 2 hawks go back and forth diving into the field. So I ran out there and attempted to get a little closer. I don’t know if it is a Coopers or Redtail Hawk.

Bugging
Found a bug in our trash, so I shot em. Needless to say it looked nothing like this to the naked eye, but on a macro level all the details come to light.
Dragonfly
Next week Saturday I will be attending a Canon Live class on macro photography. How appropriate that today I would come across a dragonfly in the backyard. I shot em with natural & artificial light.
Your fly is down
Caught this huge fly fornicating on my guava tree so I caught em and shot em. MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro with a MT-24EX flash.
Flying Cormorant
Shot em with my Sony.
Spider
Found this spider playing in our shower. I have no idea the species but I figured I should shoot em.
Skunkage
Just as we were headed out the door for our evening walk Sandy quickly ran back in… I stuck my head out and saw a baby skunkbutt. I knew the trails it traveled so just stood there with my camera knowing it didn’t have any other way to get to the backyard. The risk paid …
Koa’s Spa Day
We had to get Koa ready for Easter Sunday so a little dog polo and a mango scented bath was called for. A few portraits after her spa treatment.
Coot Wars
Sat out this morning coffee in one hand 7D2 in the other. Not a big fan of coots but they were very active. It must be mating season. So do they fly or walk on water?
Cormorant poop @ 10fps
Its so easy to shoot burds in our backyard. Cormorants are playful and very active. They are either diving for fish or spreading the wings in the sun My Sony A6000 can capture 10fps (frames per second) I’ll spare you all the poop shots but I knew he would do this, the bastard.
