day 195 14th july

here are last nights pictures, late on posting them up.

i followed this Quail family around the brush last night, seemed to be 2 sets of parents and i counted 12 chicks at one time, not the best pictures i have taken.

half way though another male appeared and this fight ensued, off-course my shutter speed was way to slow and there was no chance of a rematch just for me.

i have been trying to take a picture of this little guy for about a week now, he always hangs around the same rock, must be 2 inches (50mm) long and runs fast.

Awesome job on that airplane... Funny thing is that I was shooting the very same plane today, but I was more underneath it and the sun was going down. I'm surprised the skate park was closed. Was there a reason?

Thanks for the purple rain even though I'm not a Prince (or is that the artist formally known as Prince) fan.
