Housefly on Leaf
8/20/08
As you can see, I was able to get real close to this fly. I love my macro lens. The photo is cropped, but nothing too extreme. And in case you're wondering, yes, that out of focus spot is fly poop.

Today we went to Sea World! I took a lot of shots, but this was my favorite - a simple dolphin portrait. We had a great time feeding them, although $6 for three measly fish seems a bit much. We also enjoyed feeding the sting rays!

<em>Hawaii Day 1</em>
Today we flew into Honolulu! My cousins picked us up and took us all over the North Shore. This turtle (and several of his friends) was on Ali'i Beach in Hale'iwa.

on August 21, 2008Great shot! Much better than the one I had a few days ago. How'd you get so close? Was he too busy pooping to notice you?
