I love comparing my BEFORE and AFTER photos when I get done editing. When I took this photo yesterday it was overcast and the lilacs had lost all of their beautiful purple color. So how did I get the color back? By using a trick I learned from a portrait photographer who showed me how to paint makeup on a model. I created a new layer in Photoshop, set blending mode to overlay and chose a pretty purple color to paint with. Set opacity to your liking. Be creative, you're only limited by your own imagination!

Life in beautiful central New York offers a wide variety of photo opportunities. My passion for animals has led me to take many photos of wild animals, pets, nature and scenery, as well as a variety of other subjects. My interest in all living things challenges me to capture stunning memorable images.

Shortly after moving into our home in the country, a hummingbird came to visit me. I was standing on our open deck in early May when a Ruby-Throated hummingbird flew right up to me. It hovered for a few moments, made eye contact, and behaved as if it were curious about me. I had never encountered a hummingbird in this way before. The experience changed my life!!

On this day an Eastern Phoebe spent some time in our yard feeding. I wished it would have perched somewhere other than on the rope, but it didn't. I think I made the best of it? I moved as close to the rope as I could to narrow the depth of field.

Cedar Waxwings are frequently seen traveling in flocks. Their call usually sounds like a high-pitched whistle or buzzy trill. In the winter these birds will come into gardens searching for food on berry bushes and trees or to drink from bird baths.

Fringed Polygala are in bloom!! These delicate purple flowers thrive in dry to moist conifer forests. This flower only blooms for a short time in spring to early summer, in the eastern half of Canada and northeastern US. They are like miniature orchids, very tiny and close to the ground and so beautiful in color! They are one of my favorite woodland wildflowers. 'Fringed Polygala' Nikon D80, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 macro, ISO 400, f/8, 1/500. Enjoy my entire collection of fine art flowers at www.rollosphotos.com.

Something happens to you after you've been photographing for a while. You develop a sense of things that other people don't see. For instance I can't look at our pond and see the water anymore, all I see is the reflection on top.

Male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird perched on a branch defending territory with his showy ruby red gorget. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary birds. Adults are not social other than courtship and mating. The female cares for her young alone. Male and females of any age are aggressive towards one another. They defend their feeding territories by attacking and chasing other hummingbirds away.
