Hey y'all. I've wandered here a few times and seen some beautiful pictures. I can't even describe myself as an amateur photographer, but I like to think I can tell a good picture from a bad one. On the other hand, what do I know?
This is one I took with my Casio EX-Z600. I just missed the bird flying off at 11 o'clock. The bugger didn't get away completely though.
My partner Andy called to me from the back yard yesterday evening and said there was something he wanted me to see. He had moved a cut-off tree stump that we have in the back yard for decoration, and moving it had revealed a little mama lizard and her two tiny eggs underneath. Andy saw the mama lizard scurry off, and when he first showed me these tiny eggs, I thought they were Tic Tacs until he told me what had just happened. I had to run and get my tripod and macro lens and take a photo of this quick before the twilight faded away. Right after I took this photo (long 5-second exposure), we replaced the stump where it had been before, and we hope the lizard will come back to incubate her eggs.
But I've been watching! A lot of really great shots, especially the bugs! I've got some really nice day lilies in my backyard, and for a few minutes in the evening, the sun lights them up through the canopy of the tree behind us. I caught this one with an ant visiting.

Aha! I knew I recognized the fountain. I go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. There are far too many photos of this fountain floating around the photo building there, haha. This is nice, though.
