watch out for the chicks

if you look close, there's a quail chick in this photo. it seems like there might be up to a dozen or so in the little group, they're very cute, running around and peeping at each other. amazingly well camoflaged, and surprisingly fast and agile. I had a hard time getting even this.

there's a family of quail living in and around the back yard, you can hear them peeping away all day long. very cute.

caught these ants trying to stuff a large, very green beetle - still alive - into a very small crack. I need a better macro lens, the tight crop on this leaves much detail sharpness to be desired... still, I tried the optio and this shot with the SLR was better than what I got with the optio.

found this old jacket in a pile of bins scraps, an outfit and prop were quickly assembled, and a 5-minute fashion shoot ensued. you don't want to see the rest.
