A friend took them on his camera. That was the first time I went fishing for 15 years or so.

Went back packing out of Devil's Postpile by Mammoth this last weekend. Went to Rosalie Lake. We were supposed to do alot more, but one of the guy's that went, his knee was giving out on him. So we stayed a little longer at Rosalie Lake and went back. It was a nice three day trip. Here's some pictures from the point n shoot camera.

Great shots. I really like this one.

Thanks dirtman. I would of liked to take my 40D with the wide angle, but my backpack already weighed too much. Maybe next time.

After a month of stalking this prick, I finally got him to stand still long enough to get some quick shots of him. We've had a war going on since I moved down here: he likes to hang out by the boat in the early morning and scare the bejezzus out of me on my way to the showers. I follow him around trying to get clear shots of him. I think he just gave up! He's about 3.5 feet tall.

Got these on Cleghorn this morning. The wind was blowing pretty hard so getting these guys sitting still took a while




I had to stop in the middle of the trail because this wasp was digging a hole like he was headed for China, I saw the dirt flying up in the air for 10 feet away

That's a Tarantula Hawk. You can get as close to them as you want and they won't care as long as you don't try to pick them up.

Jim,

I just had a little a flash back from Saturday cause Kurt (Rat Patrol) stopped in the middle of the trail on Cleghorn to watch a hornet / wasp that was digging and throwing dirt across the trail. Too funny..

Yeah, that was Kurt's picture from Cleghorn. I watched one of these Tarantula Hawks for about a half hour at a School I was working at, just flying back and forth, then landing in the dirt. I didn't know what it was exactly until I looked it up on the internet.

On my way to work this morning

THe dock master at the marina is a freak about flowers. She plants everything! Nice thing is it gives me lots of subjects to photograph, like this guy:

Those are cool shots. What kind of Macro lens do you have? I have yet to get one, but need one(I guess want).

This is the lens I used for the sunflower shots.
