March 2016 ... "Peaceful" "Peaceful" -- Peacefulness can be expressed in many different ways. The assignment for this month is to capture photos that will illustrate the mood or scene that is "Peaceful." Landscape, place, emotion.... WHATEVER it is, this is the month to try to capture...

O, and welcome to the forum @brucet

@Danno, thanks and yes the Dove here are probably every bit as fast as yours. Right now they have really migrated to my area in search of nesting areas in the mesquite trees (I think that is why they are around). I do get MANY out of focus, in the bushes, missed completely type of shots. Ha...

Week #8 Theme: Colors Feb. 20-26 I thought I had posted this one, but today I discovered that I still needed to get with the program. Ha! I took this shot while going down the interstate at 75mph. Don't anyone fret over safety concerns, my sister-in-law was driving. Oh wait, I guess that...

Day #60 (Final for the day) A woodpecker (Ladderback or Hairy?) Charlie, just hanging out. Feel free to caption this one.

Day #60 (Continued) A first for me: Dark-eyed Junco

Day #60 Feb. 29 Some Mourning Dove in flight.

Day #59 Feb. 28 Not much today. A few Mourning Dove in a tree. Then I found a Barn Owl in some pine trees. He flew into this Mesquite tree.

Week #9 Theme: Walkers-Monochrome Walkers at the 5K Run to benefit families of fallen Border Patrol Agents

Day #58 Feb. 27 Today started with the 5K Run to benefit families of fallen Border Patrol Agents And then as I was driving back to my secluded desert, I spotted a long train of engines parked. I couldn't get close enough to get the angle to show all 200 + engines, but I did get this shot...

Day #57 (Continued) A young Saguaro Cactus (Approx. 4' tall) growing in a rock. A sunset from the same general location of the Saguaro

Day #57 (Continued) A Honeybee on a Fairy Duster flower Another Fairy Duster Flower A Brittle Bush Flower

Day #57 Feb. 26 A male Vermilion Fly-Catcher I really enjoy finding these bright birds. This was one of my ideas for the weekly challenge, but some others beat me posting, so I went with something else for the challenge. Ha!

Day #56 (Continued) A Crow with decent lighting angles for a change. A Eurasian Dove (Collared) Dove are so quick in flight that I have problems getting decent shots. This makes two days in a row for semi-acceptable shots of them for me. Same dove

Day #56 Feb. 25 I have continued to get pictures every day, I just haven't had internet to post. Trying to catch up on posting. A Red-tailed Hawk (Immature) I think The same bird, different pose

Well I had the same train of thought as @nikonpup and Bob Blaylock as you will see in my 365. Not wanting to be too much competition for them, I came up with something different and apparently uncommon. Ha! I had a small amount of time to spend shooting a few shots of a 5K run/walk event that...

@jdeg, Just to update on this problem... It seems to have been corrected with your last adjustment. The last blank email I received was Feb. 13th. Nothing blank since. Thanks!!

Day #55 (Continued) A cottontail rabbit hanging out along my walking trail. Posting this shot of the cottontail only because he was caught in the act of flying.
