These pictures were taken in my backyard on a very sunny day.  This was a cool shot because this bush was surrounded by bees and I hate bees. The fact that I got close enough to take a picture of one was very cool.

I used a color filter to make the red on the flower stand out more against the very green leaves in the background.  This is the natural color of the flower, and it’s a beautiful red.

I like how close the flower is to you in this picture.  When you look at it, it’s like you can just reach out and touch it.  I used a filter to make the red stand out more.

I used the same filter to make the flower pop more on this picture.  I love how the sun is poking through the ocotillo.  It shines on the flowers perfectly.

This picture is very similar but I used a different filter to give it a darker look.

I LOVED the sun in this picture.  I didn’t plan it at all, but it turned out really pretty.  The sun changes the focus from the flower to the sun which is very cool.

After I took the previous picture, I loved the sun through the ocotillo so I tried to get the sun peeking through from every angle.  And I gave this pic a black and white filter to make it different.

Another example of the sun. This sun is a little bit different, the rays are longer and there are 6 sticking out like a star.  It almost looks too perfect to be a sun.

The same angle of the sun, just a different filter and taken further away.

I think the ocotillo is so pretty and the sun behind it completes the picture.  For some reason I liked it better in black and white than color, so I added a filter.

I was watching this bird for a while and when it jumped up and started flying, I just started taking pictures. I love how it’s in motion.  I used noon day sun filter to make the picture brighter.

This was a different bird that came flying in right after the other.  I wasn’t watching this bird but I just happened to catch it almost in the same position as the other bird.  I also used a filter to brighten up the picture.

 The sky was perfectly clear and the sun was shining right above me, so there was no reason for me not to take a picture.

This picture is not cropped at all.  I was so surprised that I could actually get that close to a fly without it flying away! I was pretty excited that I could sneak up on it and take a picture.

 I love the colors in this picture.  The green against the blue is so pretty.  And the bird at the top of the tree just looks at peace.  It almost looks fake.

This shadow was so cool.  I just happened to look down and see it.  The surface is gravel and the tree was just infront of the sun to cast this perfect shadow.
