Very unusual mushroom

Posted By Kurt Horsley

I ran into this one near the lake. I've never seen one with this bright contrasting color before. Anyone know what it is? It was by itself with no others to be found. -Kurt Horsley

They came through by the thousands. Here's a few shots.

Grand Canyon Panorama

Posted By Kurt Horsley

This is my first attempt at stitching two photos together in conjunction with the software in my flatbed scanner. It was an experiment, so I only scanned at 75dpi and then stitched the photos together with ImageExpert. Original photos are from an Olympus OM-10 on Fuji ASA100. Exposure not recorded. I guess it came out okay for only 75dpi. The bubblejet print looks amazingly good considering such low resolution. Higher resolution and a little practice in photoshop and I might give up on wide angle lenses. This was very interesting. -Kurt Horsley

Fox

Posted By Kurt Horsley

While kayaking at the lake, I followed the "sound" of this guy for several hundred feet, in the brush, but he refused to show himself. Finally, I caught a very brief view of him. They're very shy during the daylight. -Kurt Horsley

Common (but beautiful) Grackle

Posted By Kurt Horsley

Poeple don't appreciate these birds enough. Just too common, too easy, too many, and not interesting enough. And, they can create some problems with over-population. But, I've learned to appreciate how intelligent they are, and how beautiful their colors can be in the right light. -Kurt Horsley
