I submitted a photo of Peaches the Cockatoo from Idle-Hour Ranch for picture summer today. I took this photo during our Summer Photo Safari (you can read about it here). I took several photos today, but kept coming back to this image for today’s prompt.

I mentioned yesterday that I’ve gotten off to a slow start with picture summer. This is a shot I took today and submitted for a previous assignment. I still have 4 days of assignments to catch up, but I’m not going to stress about it…

Here is a little tip I learned in picture summer… your kit lens is a pretty decent fill-in for a macro lens. It will get me by for now! I’ve added the 50mm macro to the want list. Unfortunately for the macro it’s below the 70-200L.

Your pictures are looking GREAT, Sherry!
I didn’t get to look at everyone’s photos yesterday or the day before, but that second one blows me away!
P.S. Hello Tracy
Thanks Traci. I’m having fun with picture summer, found it via Molly!
Wow, thanks Molly. I would never have even paid attention to the ladybug on the moss before picture summer. Thanks for the tip about using the 18-55 mm kit lens for macro shots.
