Reflection's Flora and Fauna
A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.

Welcome to Reflection's Flora and Fauna.
I have found I am having so much fun with the camera that there are many more photos taken than will fit on my blog, Reflections From the Fence.
I post flora and fauna photos here. One subject a day, a flora and fauna 365 project. I managed to get past the first 365 and started the second year of this daily exercise. I made it till sometime in November of 2011. And, now, Flora and Fauna is just a regular ole blog, posting when I have something to share and the time to post it.
Some posts are wordy, some are wordless. My goal is to make them as wordless as possible. However, if I find something interesting during the posting/research process, I may share, ok, I will probably share. I hope you find the words and photos to be interesting.
Remember, by clicking on the photo, it will open in a new window, usually a larger view of the image, more detail, etc. Please use your back button to return here to Reflection's Flora and Fauna.
Thanks for stopping by.

Carol, do you ever try to identify the plants/flowers/trees you photograph? I have a couple of travel books of wildflowers and one of edible weeds (LOL!) that I keep in the RV. I love trying to identify the weedy stuff that most people don't appreciate. So many of them are not impressive until you photograph them up close and you see how beautiful they really are.
Yes, Lisa, I do try to identify the plants/flowers/trees. I spent over an hour getting the Red Powderpuff bush that was here on the 12th. Took me about 10 minutes to nail the Gambel's Quail. Black-necked stilt took 15 minutes or so. Ya, I spend considerable time trying to identify my subjects. It has been quite the challenge west of I 35, so many new ones! LOL
I have at least 3 really good books in Tana, Field Guide to the Birds of North America, and American Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers (east and west regions).
I was unaware that there is one of edible weeds. How very interesting.
I just looked in the wildflower book and did not see anything that I could nail as today's subject, looked in the "white" flowers.
I also look for id tags when we are in garden areas and have found a lot of names that way. I even got desperate while in Yuma, Man had to stop at Lowe's. I went right to the garden center and looked for plants I had photographed and could not id. I found a couple of names that way! LOL Took another photo with my cell phone with the name of the flower! I found feathery cassia that way! :-)
I so totally agree with you about close up photos, I enjoy looking at flora and fauna with the macro setting on Sony!
