Comment on Snowy Owls at Boundary Bay by Michael

Well thats the other thing I don’t get about going out in the marsh – most of those people had lenses that were worth much more than my car. I thought the point of a huge lens was you didn’t have to get as close?

Thanks for the comments – the other thing I like about mushrooms is they are a subject that tends to sit still while I am trying to photograph!

Love the tip of the hat to these mushrooms. It’s funny how these little guys (or girls?) often get neglected in favor of real plants. But they are quite fascinating and do make for some great images so long as one is willing to get down and dirty. By the way if you are wondering about my bias towards mushrooms it might have something to do with the fact that my last name “Pilz” is German for mushroom. I always knew I was a fungi. Nice picture. Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures of the owls and what an opportunity. You also bring up a great issue about respecting the wildlife and the wild. Personally I would prefer to bring the right lens and leave the land as close to nature as I find it.

Comment on First Signs of Spring ‐ Crocus Flowers by Zachary Allen Pilz

Love the Crocus (croci?). They are a hopeful and beautiful sign of the season. I find the contrast between the purple petals and bright orange amazing and of course nice use of DOF. I have a few of these flowers at my house and some years they even poke up early through the snow.

Thanks Alex – I think adding the overall navigation to the blog is going to help a lot – I’ve seen an increase in the traffic to my galleries already.

Well, it also snowed this morning so you also missed that! You might have missed the Snowy Owls this time around but you have some great bird photos from the Everglades etc!

These are gorgeous Michael! What a great opportunity to photograph birds that are not usually in our area. I guess I did miss something by being away after all
