If you've got the brown old warrior, you better hang onto him. They're exceedingly rare with less than 50 made I think and none were in brick and mortar stores- the last one I saw up for sale went for a grand.

Windstones are one of my other addictions. Darn Melody keeps coming out with more and more beautiful colors and I can't help myself. The newest production color is Amethyst. -swoon- Can't wait for the OW (my fave sculpt) in that color!

Nice pics Brandi, it's been a long time since I've seen a wild Bald Eagle but I did get to see a Florida Panther in Orlando on the side of a road I was walking up. Where did you find Boo Boo?

I seen it back when Wayne Hill hosted his Expo in Orlando back in the day walking up that long road to Epcot Center or Universal Studios whatever but on my way in I saw it and walking back I was looking to see if it was still laying in the grass and didn't see it. I noticed a car approaching up the road and from the opposite side of the road it ran across the street with a rabbit in it's mouth. The cat was looking at the car but didn't notice me. It then started walking towards the woods and I was so amazed I followed it until it turned, looked at me and ran off.
I wish I had a camera with me.

Go get some nap time.

GASP!! BITE your tongue. Shrek (the Caique) would be mortified to be mistaken for a lowly Conure.

Miss Piggy is the Conure.

Ok... you win. I cant compete with that.... WOW!!!!

Here are some of my personal favorites... (sorry, I couldn't pick just one!)

D. auratus Blue & Black




Green Bottle Blue

Baby Versicolor

Singapore Blue


Me in Kodiak, Alaska (I have more landscape and wildlife pictures, but I cant find them right now!)



Hope you enjoyed them!!

I don't have access to anything except what I have on photobucket right now...that could be a good thing, since I'd have trouble deciding what to post. Here are a few that I like for various reasons, despite the fact that I can already see things I should have done differently. (I almost stepped on the baby bunny as I turned away from a failed attempt at a dragonfly shot - still had the macro lens on, and didn't think I'd have time to mess with settings. A few others could have benefited from some setting adjustment as well. I'm still learning that stuff, but I'll get the hang of it eventually)













These two aren't very good pictures - I was playing with depth of field, and kind of liked the effect (especially the bullsnake)

I am in the presence of some amazing photographers!
