ARE YOU GETTING THE PICTURE?

This image is from dpreview.com (excellent place for photo equipment reviews / information). To get the most out of an image, a monitor should be calibrated. On my monitors, I can make out the difference between all 26 bands of this image. At minimum, to get a really good look at images, you should be able to differentiate AT LEAST between A, B, C and X, Y, Z.

Latest additions:

9/7/09 - Wow! The last few days have been really busy with this site and very productive. With continuing help from Chris Nichlos and a LOT of new help from Jim Walker, the bigger part of the unidentified wildflowers have been identified - and a few mis-identified plants corrected. Additionally some new wildflowers have been added along with some spiders and flies. Almost all of the files have also been identified, too. Also got some new Red-tailed Hawk photos on along with some dragonflies & damselflies. MANY THANKS TO CHRIS NICHOLS & JIM WALKER!!!

9/2/09 - I've been able to move a lot of pictures out of the UNIDENTIFIED page to their proper slots with names, thanks to Chris Nichols of Austin who sent me many identifications for plants I had been unable to find. THANKS CHRIS!

6/7/09 - New section in wildflowrrs: Carnivorous Plants - new Dragonflies added, too and some other odds 'n' ends

6/3/09 - We have recently added many new pictures in addition to getting a lot of insects and some wildflowers identified that were previously unidentified - especially in Dragonflies. We also have a really nice new set of pictures of a Mississippi Kite and of a pair as they are mating - from "fly in" to "fly out" - you may like these as they are unusual - Mississippi Kites Mating
