I've always loved this type of close-up, dog-nose shot. They're so cute. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my dog to cooperate; until I got a doggy bone, that is. Then he sat patiently while I took his picture.

Jake CloseUp
This is one of my first tries at black and white, and I must say that, personally, I love it. The color version had all kinds of awful distractions that just aren't present in the black and white version. The only thing I did was color the eyes, which I think works well.

Ostrich
Today's photo excursion was rather fruitless. The only thing I liked was this shot of an ostrich which was at a farm not too far from my house. Very strange birds, ostriches.
Squirrel 4
I was rather surprised by these squirrels which were living in some rocks not ten feet from the water. I hope they don't have trouble during high tide.
Cormorant
There were a bunch of these cormorants in Berkely, and they really are cool birds. This particular one wasn't in the water, but a lot of them were diving.
Walking
Well, a sore throat, fever, and no particular lack of schoolwork has kept me from taking many pictures. Yesterday, however, my dad and I went to Berkely and walked around by the bay.

Black Bird
Yesterday, my dad and I met a friend of mine over in San Francisco. We had a great time walking around Golden Gate Park taking pictures. This picture is from that excursion. The four that I'm about to post are as well.

Avocet
This avocet was at the Palo Alto Baylands. There were a number of them is this one little pond area. Their curved beaks are very strange looking, especially when they're open.
Squirrel 2
I turned away from all the neat birds at the Palo Alto Baylands for just a moment to shoot this little squirrel who had just darted across the path. He was just sitting there watching one of the birds a ways off.

Flower
This is another picture from Napa today. My dad likes to do a lot of close up flower shots (the link to his blog is on the right), and I decided to try one out.
Water Stream
Today I was in Napa taking pictures and I came upon a fountain. It had a little stream of water that was separate from the main fountain and I decided to try to freeze it in action.

Flying Duck
I was going to try to catch this duck in flight. My dad and I got so close to it that we thought it would simply ignore us. When it finally did take off, I got this great shot.
Egret 2
This egret was in a tree at the Bay Lands. All the birds there were constantly flying around. Many of them would land only to take off again a short time later. This one is either landing or taking off.
Squirrel
This was a funny squirrel that I spotted at the Bay Lands. It was inside of a bush and kept poking its head out to nibble the flowers.
Egret
Alright, time for some more catch up. Today, my dad and I went to the Palo Alto Bay Lands. There were tons of birds there, including a number of Egrets such as this one, which kept flying over our heads. It was picking up twigs in one place, then bringing them back to construct its nest in another.

Waterfall
This fountain in a nearby business park was kinda boring. When the water is frozen in time like this, though, you can see an interesting pattern in the ripples. I thought it was pretty cool.
Old Man Sea
This is one I shot at central park. I just got a 20D, so I wanted to play with it. I took a lot of shots trying to freeze the water in place. Most came out really well, but I found a face in this one and thought it was cool.
View
It's been a while since I posted (A week, I believe). Anyway, I'm gonna catch up pretty soon. Here's a shot from a few days ago.
