Nature and cityscape scenes which are not birding specific.

A walk around the pond

OIWL Park-5770

A hot July afternoon. Not the best time to go looking for birds but a very good time to look for butterflies and dragonflies. An overcast sky is very nice also. I didn’t have to contend with any harsh shadows – just nice even light all around.

OIWL Park-5801

A good opportunity to create some nice silhouettes.

OIWL Park-5967-Edit

I really like how the pond flora blends into a beautiful background.

I was perched on the hill where the Netherlands Carillon stands. Me and about 10000 others. It’s a great location for getting three landmarks in one shot.

I wish I could be in several places at once or that there were more displays throughout the year.

Hope you all had a great 4th.
