Grassland Series

Walking around a park near a forest, I saw how the grass has changed because fall is coming.

Since we have a windy day today, I was in the mood of panning in camera shots. This effect creates an impressionistic look.

The Monarch Butterfly

One of the most difficult animals to photograph is a butterfly. I went to Lake Pauls Valley this morning and I was overwhelmed with the variety of butterflies in there. I found a cluster of nectar flowers and took these pictures. I think the best time to photograph butterflies is early morning because these were very active around 10:30 a.m, and I had to follow them every flower. I waited patiently until they stopped on a side of the flower to take the picture.

Windy Day in the lake

Now that we have fall coming soon...It has been raining for three days and very windy. I went to Lake Jean for more wildflowers photos. However, the windy was very strong so I decided to lower my shutter speed and create impressionistic flower artwork.

New Summer Wildflowers Images

I went to Lake Jean today. It is located 20 minutes from where I live. The weather was nice...cool and cloudy. I think it is perfect light for flower photography specially for macro. I used a 100 macro lenses and my Nikon D200. It was a little bit windy so I had my tripod and cable release.

Impressionistic Trees

I like trees and movement. Since I wanted to make a new way to see trees, I went to Longmire Lake in Pauls Valley and took pictures of trees in winter. I moved the camera up and down and added colors using Photoshop CS3.

Summer Wildflowers in Oklahoma Landscape

Walking around the Chickasaw recreational area in Shulphur, I found spots of Coreopsis and cattails. Here are some of the images I took.

Summer is almost over...

If you look around the lakes and creeks and the landscapes , you will see that everything is still very green. The rain has come this weekend and it is vey wet. I went to the park last week and took some pictures in the morning. It was very quiet and beautiful. Enjoy them!
