I really enjoy macro photography. It keeps me sharp for shooting details during the weddings I photograph. Plus it provides the viewer with a glimpse of the world you won't see unless you really get close. Am I afraid of getting stung you ask? Maybe a little, but usually the bees are so busy collecting pollen they pay little attention to me. Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)
One of the broad-winged hawks that have taken up residence in our cul-de-sac. This one was finishing dinner in one of the trees in our front yard. They have their nest in our next door neighbors tree. We hear them throughout the day and often see them, but this is the best shot of one I've gotten so far. According to Audobon they are uncommon in this area so we feel lucky that they have decided to reside in our neighborhood. They apparently have an abundance of food and I know they have plenty to drink with all the ponds between us and our neighbors.Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)
