Sigh Boys and their pretty trucks.... We've seen big horns before as 4yrs ago we spent 5yrs living in same desert that Sambr lives but we still never got so close to them and I had a crappy P&S.

Thanx I'm not the most creative person but occasionally I get an idea that works out ok :)

After I got kids to school I took my camera to do critter chores
My new pup Burli- Dropped off in cottage country and left behind but has a home with us now. Strange having a small dog LOL thinking he's probably a Lab x Border Collie. Black Dogs are awful to try to photograph and since he's always at my feet and I'm short its hard to get tall enough to capture him :)

use your 300mm, you have to back up a ways to focus. No so good on bugs, i do it alot on flowers.

Thanx Ron I do usually use the 70-300mm for close ups but I find it heavy and hard for me to hold steady so I need high shutter speeds to not muck it up. The sun was just a low orange glow so not much light to allow the speed I'd need not to blur my focus. Not to mention that black nose would have been touching my lens LOL I could barely get up on my tippy toes high enough to put the 30cm I needed to focus my 18-55

Food never gets wasted around here :) Waterfowl got the pumpkin goo when carving, goats got 2 pumpkins and chickens/ turkeys shared another pumpkin then we enjoy their milk and eggs

I do the same thing everytime to upload but sometimes I come back later to find they aren't showing up. Not sure what happens but deleted and reuploaded. They're showing up for me so hope they show up properly now.

Deaf cat means I can never get his attention for a photo but it means I can fiddle and make noise but not wake him up

Yes you are right Marilynne. I kept getting photo bombed while taking photos of these 2 so decided to just work with the ones hiding in the background :)
