In the absence of a bear, bobcat, elegant trogon, or berylline hummingbird to photograph, I'll take most any animal or bird. But at some point, you become more particular. i.e. It's hard to get excited about photographing a house finch, house sparrow, mourning dove, or gambel's quail when you live in Southern Arizona. So, what do you do when the birds and animals are nowhere to be found? You open your mind to something new, something different. Nature, of course, has much more to offer. Butterflies are beautiful. Wildflowers are colorful. And, mushrooms can be interesting. Mushrooms and wildflowers can allow for creativity because they are stationary. Angles, composition, lighting, distances all provide the photographer an opportunity to be creative. So experiment. Take lots of photos and see which you like best ----------- and, why! Show them to friends and see which they like best -------------- and, why. It's a wonderful learning experience that happened only because the animals and birds were hiding. Today, I thought I would share with you a photo that I really like, and as it turns out, so do others.
