I love this woodpecker shots, and even if you had to set up for a long exposure time, I love the atmosphere and the composition... I found the moon shots very relaxing and tend to love this kind of pictures!! Well done and thanks for sharing...

We were on the lookout for an owl in nest hole that a fellow hiker told us about, but weren't able to find it. :-( I did a bit of experimenting to get the moon photos the way I wanted them.<br /><br />Madi -- they are lovely woodpeckers, aren't they? "Gila" (pronounced "he la") is a river in Arizona where these woodpeckers and a poisonous lizard called the Gila Monster were first described. Good to know that it means crazy in Malay!<br /><br />Chris -- glad you like the moon shot; it made for a very romantic evening.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you for visiting and leaving comments!<br /><br />cheers,<br />WilmaWilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-20117877028619944402009-11-21T16:25:13.519-06:002009-11-21T16:25:13.519-06:00That last moon shot gives a pause - very nice!

I would never have imagined anything making a home there.<br />Lovely pictures of the Moon.
