My day started off with a laugh as I saw this man paddling across the Great Salt Lake on his board, sitting on a cooler, with an umbrella over his head. [ATTACH=full]164351[/ATTACH]Next, I decided to head over to my Hummingbird hot spot... but the flowers and hummers are not there yet. However, this gave me the chance to pull out the Tamron 150-600mm "macro" for some flower bee shots. I captured this bee as he came in on final approach to the flower.[ATTACH=full]164353[/ATTACH]And then it went horribly wrong as the bee got distracted and crash landed head first into the flower. [ATTACH=full]164354[/ATTACH]Feeling really good with my Tamzooka Macro, I decided to try for some mini butterflies... that didn't work out so well. But here's a flower instead. You can imagine the butterfly.[ATTACH=full]164355[/ATTACH]Behind me I could hear some serious grunting. Figuring it was a butterfly with some serious indigestion I thought I should investigate. Turns out it wasn't a butterfly, but a cute cuddly tourist launching buffalo. [ATTACH=full]164356[/ATTACH]Deciding to call it a day, turning to leave, I see the most beautiful bright red bird in a tree up ahead. I quickly scramble to get a shot of this bird but it moves into the shade. Sometimes you get what you get so I photographed it and hoped for the best. Once I got home I learned this bird lives on the eastern half of the United States and shouldn't be out here. Guess no one ever told the bird that. In my research there had only been five confirmed sightings of this bird here in Utah. So I filled out the Rare Bird Sighting form and sent it in along with my picture to this Utah birding site. [ATTACH=full]164357[/ATTACH]Nearing my vehicle I couldn't help but chuckle and think that is one serious pioneer wheel blow out. The cool thing out west is that we have these things around and they are the real deal.[ATTACH=full]164358[/ATTACH]Arriving home I was treated to another not supposed to be here moment as I saw this unfamiliar plane flying overhead on approach to Hill A.F.B. Of course I had to photograph it. Turns out to be a pretty important aircraft. If you're curious, look up operation "Looking Glass".[ATTACH=full]164359[/ATTACH]To end the day I photographed Oreo the I hate everyone killer neighborhood cat.[ATTACH=full]164360[/ATTACH]Now off to bed for me. Hope you enjoyed my little photo adventure.</blockquote>
