While we were in Reno we visited the Animal Ark. We didn’t get there til midday so I have too many photos of sleeping animals which I will not post.

Lord of the Flies
I really hate flies! But then why do I photograph them so much? This is a 26 shot focus stack image, shot with my 65mm MPE on the 5X magnification.
Lacewing
Sandy found a green lacewing on her windshield and brought it to me to photograph.
Kingfisher
I have been trying to photograph a Belted Kingfisher for quite some time now. She has proven to be quite elusive. She always announces her arrival with a loud heckle, but the second she sees me she bolts. I will get a decent photo if it’s the last thing I do…
Hawkish
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.
