Coming in for a quick drink... man you have to be fast to get a picture of these humming birds... they're in and out so fast it's hard to get focused before they're gone!

Enjoy!

Village Creek Drying Beds # 1

Went out to Village Creek Drying Beds today... got several good shots - here's the first! Enjoy!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Don't ever leave home without enough fire power! ;-) My new Tamron 200mm-500mm zoom lens. Yes, it ROCKS.

New Lens!

Today I bought a new Tamron 200mm-500mm zoom lens...so, I had to take it for a test drive ;-) I took this picture from quite a LONG distance away - in fact, there was a pond, and the bird was on the other side of the pond from me... this new long focal length is very nice! Enjoy!

Taken with Nikon D50, using Tamron lens @ 500mm focal length, 1/800 second shutter.

Prayer Mountain

My daughters and I visited Prayer Mountain yesterday... very cool hill overlooking Joe Pool Lake.

A visit to the park...

Ashley and I made a trip to a local park to take some pictures of the ducks... turned out pretty good! :-)
