Alpaca Christmas

Bashful Alpaca

Spent a few days in Indiana this past week where I found myself traveling the countryside.  Mostly all I found to photograph was lots of corn, soybeans, roadside weeds and barns.  But I did drive by this field with one lone — and very bashful — alpaca.  He gave me this “what are you looking at?” stare and then trotted off into another unapproachable pasture.  I only got one shot!

Little Green Gecko

Yesterday I saw a green gecko on a pink stucco pillar and envisioned how I would frame the photo if I had my camera.  Today, camera in hand, I returned to the scene of the crime.  I was sure my little green gecko would still be there…somewhere…..and it was!

A Surprise Spider

The other day I was driving down a country road when I spotted some yellow wildflowers along the side.  There was no place to pull over, so after checking my rear-view mirror to make sure there wasn’t any traffic sneaking up on me, I stopped in the middle of the road, jumped out with my camera and took some hurried shots.

It wasn’t until I looked at this image on my computer that I saw the little green spider.  It obviously blended in pretty well with the green leaves and adds some drama to my so-so image.
