As we were driving home from dinner out last evening, the sun suddenly broke through some holes in the clouds and created this scene. I hopped out of the car and quickly captured a few shots. This is one of them. I'm glad so many of you like the shot of the two hummers. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I sure enjoyed all your shots today...lots of wonderful images. - FotoEffects Photography

These are images that I shoot on a daily basis and submit to the dailies forum on Dgrin.

A policeman writing a ticket for speeding. Hope this does not happen to any of you this weekend. I snapped this shot a couple of days ago on my way to Pilates class. We're going to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival today --- it is a wonderful arts and crafts outdoor festival. Lots of the top artists in the country will be there. There are always a lot of great photographers represented. It should be lots of fun and is always interesting. I'll be carrying my camera, of course, hoping for photo ops. Rain is predicted and since it has been raining every day, it probably will rain on our parade at some point. Have a great 4th of July!

Hummers Having a Confrontation - taken during our camping trip to Arapaho Bay Campground near Granby Lake, Colorado. The detail is better seen in the largest sizes. The whole time we were there, the hummers had confrontations and fights over the feeder. A number of times one hummer would get another hummer down on the ground and sort of pin it there, buzzing around it. I actually have pictures where a hummer has a feather on its beak from hitting another hummer in the air fights. Very funny and so much personality! Hope you have a good day. Thanks to those who took the time to comment on my fly macro.

These three baby marmots are surveying their domain. I had been watching and photographing the marmots for about an hour and they seemed quite comfortable and able to ignore me completely. When I first arrived, an adult marmot issued a warning alert for quite a bit. The warning is a very high pitched and penetrating squeaking sound. The main marmot colony is located in a lot of large boulders that were dumped near the bridge to support the soil along the roadbed. But, they have expanded beyond that into the meadow below, where there are marmot tunnels every few feet. The colony is quite close to the Arapaho Bay campground where we were camped. This is near Granby Lake in Colorado. I had never seen a marmot in real life before and I found them quite interesting. View the detail on the three baby marmots in the largest sizes. Golly, I'm amazed by the response to my daily yesterday of the sun shining through holes in the clouds. A number of you indicated that you, too, are constantly jumping out of your cars to take photos. I was just really lucky to be out and about so that I saw those rays as they came through the clouds. Thanks, folks, for taking the time to comment on the shot.

Spider - While eating lunch at a MacDonald's, my grandson spotted this spider outside the window. I hustled back to the car and grabbed my camera and macro lens and took quite a few shots. This is the best of the bunch. We had a wonderful 4th and hope everyone else did, too, and that you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Pink poppies with the light shining through the petals. View the very nice detail on this shot in the largest sizes. Thanks for all the comments on my psychedelic fish. It was a fun one to process. The week is flying by. Hope everyone has a good day!

A violet green swallow. View the detail of this swallow in the largest sizes. These little birds are very difficult to capture, as they rarely perch like this. They are almost always on the wing and move extremely rapidly. They had nests made of mud that were located under the ledge of a nearby bridge. I staked the area out for a long time and took many photos, but few were very sharp. This is one of the best. Thanks for all the nice remarks on my hairy spider. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out is specific species. Happy Mondy, everyone, and welcome back to Dave Dedman!

Woman painting with watercolors at the Denver Botanical Garden. Thanks for all your kind comments on my swallow picture. Have a great day!

Flamenco Dancer and Musician - this lady was entertaining folks at the Cherry Creek Art Festival on July 4th. The guitarist really seemed to be enjoying the performance, but the little girl to the right seems bored (she might be the daughter of one or both of the performers, I'm guessing). We've had storms here all day and I spent most of my time processing images from a photoshoot with three small children, so did not even get my camera out. I'm sure some of those shots will make their way to my dailies --- once I finally get them all done. Seems like the entire country is having serious weather of some sort. Have a good day! Pearl's Lisa is having her surgery today and I know all of us are hoping it is a success.
