This Image is a Water Color Creation from a young Artist by the name of Pam Ferdinand.
She is a beginning Art student and she asked me if she could use one of my Photographs to paint from. She chose a Northern Flickr image.

I think she did a wonderful job... Her Blog depicting her work can be seen here>

Today I had all the Northern Ohio woodpecker species come in to a Suet Log setup in the backyard here.
This Northern Flicker is one of the woodpeckers that gave me some image opportunities.

I captured this Black Capped Chickadee on a setup here in the yard this past weekend. I realize its smaller in the frame as the setup was for a bluejay or Cardinal, But I still liked it. I am really liking these red berries for winter shots, perch choices are pretty limited this time of year. Inspiration goes out to Matthew Studebaker for this image, Thanks Matt

I have always found the vein structure in leaves fascinating.

When leaves are backlit the sun shines through the leaf enhancing the detail with the structure of the leaves.

I placed these in a plamp setup and phtographed them backlit against the sunlit grass.

No idea just goofing around and trying something different playing with my Macro lens with extension tubes.
