American Coot http://t.co/10jFA2bE James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) October 29, 2012 OK, it is one thing to take pictures of birds, it is entirely another thing to figure out what bird is in the picture. I can generally recognize the most common birds,...
Genealogy's popularity declining? http://t.co/gPD0HTcf James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) October 28, 2012 There are indicators that the popularity of genealogy is rapidly declining. This would seem contrary to the emphasis placed on the pursuit by both commercial...
Cute Cactus http://t.co/iyPrAPie James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) October 27, 2012 All I can say about his little cactus is that it is cute, not cuddly, but cute. Even though these are small flowers, they are intensely colored and show extraordinary detail....
Almost Full http://t.co/PJS92nHa James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) October 28, 2012 I have a new lens and it was time to see what it could do. One surefire way of seeing whether or not the lens is up to snuff, is to take a picture of the moon. Usually, on...
Upon Reflection http://t.co/Z6x14tX3 James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) October 26, 2012 Just as the sun was going down, we spotted this small flock of geese sitting quietly on the lake. They were absolutely still, just as if they had been frozen in time....

Ocotillo Blooms http://t.co/Odf6zovD James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) October 26, 2012 Ocotillo is not a cactus. It is in its own plant family. Most of the year it looks like a bundle of dried sticks, but whenever it gets enough water, it will be covered...

Dancing Sunlight http://t.co/8sFbjarv James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) December 01, 2012 Sometimes there are magical moments when the light hits objects and makes them glow and seem to dance in the sunlight. This is one of those magic moments. The setting...
Hopi Bird-Eating-Fish http://t.co/MhL9ir5iHK James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) May 23, 2013 Some of the iconography of the ancestors of the modern-day Hopi Indians is fairly transparent. In some cases, such as the one above, the paintings are pretty realistic,...
Another Alligator http://t.co/uzHfk1ld James Tanner (@Genealogysstar) December 01, 2012 I couldn't resist another photo of an alligator. I like the contrast between active predators, like scorpions, and these lie-around-and-wait types like Black Widow...
