1. The spider
 
This cat spider (see the ears?) was so tiny it was only when looking through my macro lens that I could tell for sure that it was a teeny baby spider. Only after putting the photo on the computer could I see the detail, which was exciting.

2. Lorikeet (colorful bird)
 
It is fun watching birds and animals. It had been raining which caused this Lorikeet to preen. There is nothing worse than a bad hair day.

3. Chicken Rose
 
While at the Portland Rose Garden I hadn’t realized I had taken a photo of this “chicken” until I uploaded the photos to my computer. It is great to discover you captured more than you realize.

4. Lighthouse
 
It is hard to find anything more beautiful than the Oregon Coast to photograph. This is a photo of the Heceta Lighthouse above Florence.

5. Eagle
 
I saw this eagle and its mate at Yellowstone. The  mate was sitting on the nest while this majestic eagle was proudly guarding the nest.

6. Heart Rose
 
I saw this rose heart at the same garden where I saw the “chicken” rose, but it was just a fluke too. It was mixed in with all the other normal roses.
