Nice series of shots, Roy. When I first saw the Barn Owl in you 52 thread, I only saw the head/face as I was scrolling down. I thought, WOW that's a great close up shot. I wonder how he got that. Then I scrolled down farther and saw it was being held by a handler. Ha! Still a nice shot.

It's Roy's variation of my super glue on the hummer's twig trick -- make shooting so much easier

another dreary day, only seen 1 bird through the view finder, missed an Allen's Hummer twice , but found out where he sits, so maybe .....?

a yellow rumped warbler just too far away in the shadows.

I drove past the building site to see how far they have came with the houses.

Finally got my new filter (Friday) and its up and running in my house tank. Planted lots of new plants, they still haven't straightened out yet, but its getting there, I will get my water tested at the fish store this week, do a water change before I start to buy new fish. I have 4 fish in my tank at present, they must be hardy ones. I really should use my 35mm on the tripod for these shots, next time.

I planted some new plants in my work tank also, first spider I have seen in a while.

 

[Roy1961]

seeing lots of new flowers shooting up, spring must be coming (about time @mikew lol). this is the tree that I shot a few days back, I tried to see it going thru the deck, but cant.

I saw the coyote again today while we were out on a walk (no camera) but at least its still alive, 2 off the guys in the office are feeding him, he's clearing their food plate everyday, hope I get a shot of him some lunch time?

another rushed day of shooting, all of these were taken from the van on the way home, some as we were still moving.

didn't see any natives about the tipi.

I bounced my camera of the van floor tonight, turned a corner (slowly) and I heard a crash, never said as many f's in one sentence before, don't know where it hit, stopped and gave it a good look over, fired a few test shots and luckily everything seems to be fine, shot that last moon after it. note to self, leave the camera on the floor, it cant fall any further from there.
