White-tailed Deer A little morning sun helped delineate this deer from the foliage along with the backlit ears.

Red Fox in the Weeds On tonight’s walkabout, this Red Fox was laying in the weeds. He didn’t seem scared of me as I walked along the trail; only 10-15 yards from his position.

American Dagger Moth Caterpillar This guy seems intent on going straight up. Must take a lot of energy even for a relatively light caterpillar.

F-22 Raptor Taxiing How often do you see an F-22 taxiing on grass? Well, it’s not. The photog, me, was laying on his stomach trying to get a low angle. From any angle, it’s one mean machine.

Solitary Floatplane Evening at the Sea Plane Base at Oshkosh brings a quiet, tranquil mood. This bush plane seems quite at home.

A Bit of Color Flowers with just a bit of color can lift our day. This purple coneflower, in the sunflower family, blooms from late spring to mid summer in the Great Plains and Midwest.

Park on a Lake My walkabout trail ended on the lakeshore across from a nice park on the lake. Sometimes, the image reflects the quiet as well as the color; nice end to a nice day.

Eastern Kingbird How did I get that close with 110mm? On a Nikon 1 V3 with a 2.7 crop factor, 110mm becomes 297mm. Also, I was in a kayak drifting without paddling toward the bird. The branch it’s perched upon is about 5 feet off the water. Its nest is below it, about 2 feet off the water. Yes, I stopped the drift and did not threaten the bird or its nest. This bird looks like an Eastern Kingbird to me. Certainly, I’m not a birder. If you think it’s another type of bird, please contact me.
