McKinney Falls State Park, Texas
Fall Creek Falls, ID This photo was taken at the same location that, the night before ,I am pretty sure I was being stalked by a mountain lion. I had been outside of my car for a little while, and as I got back in and started to drive, I saw the tail end of a cougar disappear into the brush on the hillside. At first all I thought was "cool, I got to see a rare animal!" Only later did I think that I had just been outdoors alone at night... Beautiful location though, a stone's throw from the Tetons. Here's another image I'm entering to that Idaho photo contest.
Austin, Texas This was a pretty fun photo to get. I was chasing these bees around for a long time trying to find the right combination of 1) good composition and 2) a bee actually holding still long enough in said composition. Eventually this guy buzzed into an area with a lot of light reflecting off the brick wall, which made for a nice warm glow and complimented the green vegetation. And, somehow, he struck this pretty classic pose just long enough for me to catch him in the act. Thanks, bees!
