Thanks for the comment. The white beautyberry bush is quite wild. We found it growing beside a road in North Florida. It's the first one I've ever seen. I hope to gather some seeds later this fall if the birds don't eat them first.

Hi Jesi, Thank you so much for visiting my pictures and for your kind comments. And good luck with your new DSLR! Photography is a wonderful hobby and should bring you many hours of enjoyment. You asked about how I captured my "Blue Vervain and Butterfly" image. In that particular image, I was playing around with a larger aperature. Setting the aperature setting to a lower number gives you a bigger aperature. This will tend to give you a nice blurred background, but also let more light in so the picture is lighter as well. If your image gets too washed out with the big aperature, you can crank up the speed setting to reduce the over-exposure. The beauty of digital photography is that you can take tons of pictures. experiment with your settings to see the effects. You will soon get a feel for how to set up your camera to get the qualities your are looking for. Good luck! ...and thank you again for your kind comments! Linda

Hello Jesi, thanks for visiting my Tenas Peak hike, I'm glad your found it entertaining(mission accomplished!) I am partial to my little corner of Oregon and I'm grateful that life landed me here...I'm only too happy to share via Webshots. You asked what a pinesap is, it's a saprophytic (no chlorophyll) plant that because it has no green leaves, cannot use sunlight to make food. So it is a parasite, leeching off of the root systems of the pine and fir trees. We don't see it until late summer. Richard

Well Jesi, if you are going to start spending vacations in Colorado Springs, you better get busy learning how to use that new dSLR because we have some beautiful scenery here just waiting for you to come capture it. Do you know that ‘the Springs’, as us locals call it, is just a short 2.5 hr. drive to Rocky? You can get those thighs burning and hike up to Lake Haiyaha to see the lovely lake you commented on and some of the most picturesque tress in the park. It’s a nice spot to have lunch and just be alone with your thoughts. That is if you don’t mind the thin air at 10,220 feet.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my picture in the Linnaeus Garden, the purple leaves do pop out against the pea gravel pathways. I hope you can come again.

Jesi, you are quite a character! I was a safe distance away from the moose you commented on in the Tetons. Myself and a hoard of photographers were hunkered down for 3 hours on a hillside along the Snake River, waiting for the dozing bull moose to stand up so that we could start snapping. I use a Nikon 80-400 mm VR lens and it look pretty small in comparison to some of the really big glass around me. Another Nikon shooter just up the hill from me was kind enough to let me put my camera body on his tripod-mounted 500 mm lens for a few shots. That lens probably cost as much as a small car. We waited for 3 hours to have a total of maybe 10 minutes shooting time.

Hi Jesi, thanks so much for stopping by my Rocky Mountain National Park album and gracing it with your interesting and humorous comments. I enjoyed reading each and every one of them! Just knowing some of my pictures have evoked a smile or an emotion in someone is rewarding in itself. Rocky is a great place to stop, take a break and marvel at the wonders of nature. You would enjoy its unspoiled land and wildlife. Take care my new webshots friend and have a great week! Warm regards, Carolyn

Hi! Thanks for visiting my Discovery Day album - the photo you commented on was of the Lapie River in the Yukon Territory, which is just east of Alaska - on the Canada side of the border. Looking forward to browsing your photos! :o)

Thanks for more nice comments. Offord Cluny is in Cambridgeshire UK a few miles from my house in Little Paxton. I use a light 70-300 mm sigma lens a lot too. This has a macro facility which I also use a lot. I have macro and wide angle lenses but seldom use them. Regards. Jim

With thanks for your comments, especially on the Whitethroat and to answer your questions..... I have an oldish Canon 350D. For that shot I had a Sigma 50-500mm zoom lens. This lens has been excellent over the recent months, but is about 2 Kg so heavy to carry for too long. The brambling shot (it is called a Keep in Dutch) was one of the first of my "recent" (over 10 years now) re-invigorated activity and made me realise that shooting birds whilst walking my dog was a real possibility. Regards, Jim

The answers are the moon and fake. lol I don't know how the moon got in the picture it must have just been there. The crows were in a scalper park in Colorado. I like taking pictures of the real thing best, but I had fun. Norm

Hi Jesi, wow that was quite a complement you gave me, thank you. I know what you mean about learning how to use your camera. I’ve had my camera for several years now and I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. Most of my pictures are taken in Yellowstone or Southern Utah. I didn’t think anyone really cared where they were taken, silly me. Oh good luck with your new Canon, I know people that love those camera’s. I had to smile about your golfer comment, if I had a caddy like you I would be the envy of all the golfers. I would love to see your Alaska photo, I was there once while I was in the Air Force for winter survival school. I didn’t get much of a chance to see anything other than a lot of snow in the mountains. One day I would love to go back and really see it. Thank you again for taking the time to comment. Norm :o)

Hi Barbara, I used a Nikon 70-300 mm vibration reduction lens. It’s a cheep none professional lens. The picture was taken from the side of a mountain the baby was sent up the tree right to eye level. Momma was about thirty feet down the hill near the base of the tree. Thanks for you comments they are very much appreciated. Norm

Hi, You left a query on one of my photos.. It's a train ride from Williams AZ to the south rim of the grand canyon. It's a 2.5 hour ride each way. Look up either the Grand Canyon Railway, or The Train. You should be able to find it. If you have more questions.. drop me a note :-) Haig
said hagar1969
Me again, I was standing on a point that overlooks the San Rafael. The shot you are asking about is called the little grand canyon. Norm
