Today’s Image | Female Mallard It’s easy to sometimes bypass common species when hunting for a nice image. This Female Mallard seemed to be resting on a fallen branch near the shore line. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Water Lilies Water Lilies are easier to photograph from a kayak. The water depth in this image is about three feet deep. Perhaps a waterproof camera would help. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.

Potpourri Galore | Pug Mug It’s easy to love a Pug with a mug like Jasper’s. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Turtle on Concrete This Painted Turtle was crossing a driveway headed for the street. After capturing a few images, it moved right into the street and started to follow the gutters going uphill. Obviously, this route would probably not end well for the turtle. So, I picked it up with gloves and moved it to some woods with a nice shallow lake just down a short hill. (This image again used a 10mm extension tube to focus so closely.)

Recent Photos | TBM Takeoff This TBM Avenger is painted in the same scheme as President Bush’s plane was painted in WWII. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Recent Photos | Takeoff into a Storm Sometimes, even the takeoff can be challenging. Cross winds, storms ahead, and low clouds can make the takeoff interesting. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Recent Photos | P-40 Warhawk Clear Prop The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, an American single-engined, single-seat fighter, first flew in 1938. Between 1938 and 1944, 13,738 Warhawks were produced. It was used extensively during World War II and became famous as the main aircraft for the Flying Tigers. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
