my digital camera/binoculars experiment these are some anhingas in the lake by ed's. on the weekends, when the sun is shining, you often see an anhinga.. or two, or three.. resting on this fountain base in the middle of the water. they're typically accompanied by one or two mystery lumps, which i assumed to be turtles. with the use of ed's handy-dandy binoculars, i proved my assumption to be correct.
then i used my camera to get pictures.

ok, so i'm still not going to be able to take nat'l-geographic worthy pics with my 3x zoom, but i still think it's kinda cool. trust me - without the binoculars, those turtles are truly just lumps.

those are some big turtles, huh? and not soft-shelled ones, as i thought they'd be!  ¶ 5:28 PM
