Pelican
This image was taken today during my walk at White Rock Lake. I used digital manipulation to add color to the water since everything looked dull and gray this morning. I also wanted to give the entire image a more painterly effect. Hope you enjoy it!

"Flight"This is another image from the back porch in Costa Rica. Buff-throated Saltators are about as common in our part of Cost Rica as Blue Jays are in Dallas. I manipulated this image to accentuate the sense of movement and give it a more abstract appearance. Hope you enjoy it!

Rufous-tailed Hummingbird
Fifty varieties of hummingbirds are listed in "The Birds of Costa Rica". This rufous-tailed hummingbird lives in the north-central part of Costa Rica where our house is and spends most of the day drinking nectar from the hummingbird bushes that grow all along one side of the house. They are quite fearless for a creature that measures only around 4 inches in length. While sitting on the back porch, it's not unusual to be buzzed by one and then be fussed at because you happened to be in it's flight path.

Red-legged HoneycreeperThis female red-legged honeycreeper is part of a group that spends most of the day eating papaya we put out near our back porch in Costa Rica. They are feisty little birds who often chase larger birds away. Once they peck through the outer skin, they stick their entire heads through the hole to get at the juicy meat inside.

Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan
Chestnut-mandibled toucans are frequent visitors to our little piece of Paradise in Alto Monterrey, Costa Rica. This one landed in a tree right beside our back porch...eyeing the papaya I had put in the bird feeder. It sat there for a while and then flew away, never touching the papaya. Perhaps it was put off by the flurry of activity around the feeder.

"Ford"
Another rusty truck image. This is the '53 Ford pickup I discovered parked along I35 in Salado not long ago. I used some digital techniques to make the colors of the rust more vibrant and the sky more interesting.
