Camera Critters #204

Yes, it’s time once again to spend a few minutes with the little love of mine…Sammi.

Monday morning we woke to five inches of snow and Sammi’s first real snowfall.  After walking around town, taking pictures with my EOS 60D which I am still getting used to, I stopped to follow Sammi around as she played in the snow.

Of the photos I shot of her, this one is my favorite.

Camera Critter #103

Spring is definitely on the way to the high desert of central Oregon...I think. I woke this morning and looked out my window and saw this.

However, last Saturday and again on Wednesday, the temperatures in the area soared to well over 60...and I was out with camera in hand.

I decided to go to the dry canyon and follow the trail until I saw something cool to image. Along the way, I saw a number of butterflies go by...but they were late for something as they didn't stop and pose...just kept going.

However, I got to the rocks, and after scanning the larger ones, noticed some movement. I smiled and rushed over and found some of my favorite subject lounging in the hot sun...lizards!

This week, I present the Common Side-blotched Lizard of the northwest.

Next week, if nothing better shows up, I'll present the other species of lizard I came across during my photo safaris.
