Photo of the week for 5/31/14: Splish, Splash. On Mother's Day we were in Woodland with my sister, her family, and my parents. After lunch we took the kids to the park down the street and they played on the regular playground and in the splash pad playground there. I really like shooting water at high shutter speeds and like how this turned out of one of the water features.

While at Ardenwood with L. several weeks I spotted this Anise Swallowtail flitting about the flowers. it didn't hold still for long so getting a shot if it was a little tricky, but I like this one as its body is showing in decent detail and the flowers are very pretty.

Photo of the Week for 06/14/14: Sittin' Pretty. This spring there were so many tree swallows out at Coyote Hills. There are nesting boxes out there for them which they use, and they fly around super-fast in complicated patterns making it difficult to capture in-flight shots of them. I did capture this one hanging out on a branch for a little break when we were all biking out there on Memorial Day.
