*** Pic Thread *** (inspired by Maestro)

[Haole Girl]

After 18 years here, I finally made it out to Fossil Rim! Here are some pics from yesterday. Unlike Maestro, though, I have no idea what I'm doing with my camera!:














Look at all the pollen this bee is carrying in its legs!!

1. What do you mean, you don't know what you're doing?

Those are beautiful compositions, KC2!

[Haole Girl]

2. Confession...

I only took a zillion pics!! I'd hoped to get more than 3 or 4 relatively good ones. :-(

Thank you for the compliment, though.

5. Silly KC2. Everyone takes bad pictures.

Amateurs may take many more bad than good photos, but even the pros take bad shots.
The secret is to display only the good ones.

Nice shots, BTW.

[Haole Girl]

7. Thank you

:-)

3. Ohh, one of my favorite places! I try to get out there once a month.

Did you get some pics of the giraffes? I love that place, and we always stop in Granbury, a cute little town.:hi:

[Haole Girl]

4. Well... it isn't a very good one... but, here it is:

6. That's a great shot!

They're awesome animals.

[Haole Girl]

8. Thanks!

They are awesome, aren't they? :-)

12. What do you mean not a very good one?!

I'm sure most of your pictures are great, if this is what you consider "not very good".

29. Thanks!

Just going to kick this one last time for the night crowd! :hi:

9. Those are very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[Haole Girl]

10. Thank you!

And, you're welcome. :hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. For not knowing what you're doing...

You certainly have an eye for pictures! I want to steal all of those, frame them and put them on my wall. There is such DEPTH to those pictures. You are an amazing photographer! Keep it up!!

13. Oh, wow, thank you!

I am not selfish about my pics (except ones of me, of course). If you ever seriously want to use one, for something, it's yours. :-)

[Maestro]

14. Spectacularly awesome shots

Fossil Rim is one of those gems in the area. Thanks for sharing the shots.

[Haole Girl]

18. Thank you!

I'm glad you mentioned this place, recently, in a thread. I've been wanting to see it for a long time. :hi:

[mzteris]

15. those are awesome!

I particularly like the fawn up close and the zebra shot. Oh and the bee with the pollen - I've never seen anything like that before!

I wish I didn't know what to do with my camera like you don't. ;)

[Haole Girl]

19. Thank you!

:-)

16. Sharing a few ...thanks for making this thread! :-)

:shrug:

[PeaceNikki]

22. Wow!! Super cool!

Don't see those here in WI!

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. It DOES look prehistoric!

:rofl: Never looked at it with that in mind!

[Haole Girl]

20. Those are great! Thank you!

It's so difficult to catch a butterfly with its wings open, isn't it? I never realized it, before, until I had this camera! :hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

23. It is!

And I jsut use a little point and shoot digital.
It's not quite fast enough, unless I remember to change the ISO, and that sometimes helps.

One from my backyard this September:

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. LOVE LOVE LOVE your photos!

Did I mention that I also love them? :D

Thanks for posting those!

[Haole Girl]

The second one, of the fawn looking at the camera, is just too damn precious!

And, yes, you should definitely make a day trip out there... soon... before all the animals go into their shelters for the winter!
