These turtles are remarkably difficult to approach. So this picture will have to just be compositionally and texturally interesting, and not be a super-close-up zoom of the turtle. One of these days, I’m going out in my waders so I can stand in the water and get better shots. It seems like a lot for just a picture for fun, but I don’t want to not do anything a National Geographic photographer would do to get a shot he or she wanted.
Two more days and we leave for Portland. I’ve got to start charging my camera batteries now. I am so excited. I think I’ll spend a whole day in the Japanese gardens, just shooting pretty things.

Very little crop on this one. Turns out the reason I got to stand so close is that I was between this poor thing and its den. Once I backed off, it came running at me, which I found kind of surprising. Words like “rabies” went through my head at first. Also, “camwhore.” But no, he was just headed for his hole in the ground which I hadn’t seen.
So this is the first daily photo in my new joint. I have a lot of unpacking to do. Have a good day, everyone.

The new lens is a pretty darned good macro lens, actually. I guess one upside to being laid off is that I can make my early morning photography expeditions every day of the week now instead of just on the weekends. Maybe I’ll start posting more than one photo a day.

More orioles, because they posed pretty and let me take their picture, so I had to oblige them with posts on the blog. You understand, right?
