Gray Squirrel
Gray Squirrel Easter Sunday and this guy is having a nice nut meal. This Nikon V1 and the 70-300mm are turning out to be a nice combination.
Little Robin Red Breast
Little Robin Red Breast This little Robin red breast was happily singing just outside the back door this morning. The Robins and the Red Winged Black Birds have been singing for the past several moorings. A simple click captured the moment.
Bird in a Thicket
Bird in a Thicket Yeah, just liked the design; a simple click. I pointed the camera at the bird, but liked the design better. This thicket lies close to my home on a regular walkabout path.
Canada Geese
Canada Geese This area has plenty of Canada Geese around. They’re here year around, So, sometimes they don’t get much attention from local Photogs. In this image, the canal had just opened from ice yesterday. These guys seemed to be celebrating.
Walkabout Tree
Walkabout Tree Today’s weather has been much better then yesterday, even a bit warmer. And, as promised, I’m back at the same tree with a very similar view at about the same time of day; just before sunset. It’s still an interesting image. To my eyes, it’s not as striking as the B&W.
Walkabout Tree – B&W
Walkabout Tree – B&W This tree is just off one of my main my walkabout paths. Until today, it has not impressed me. The sky was very dark and the bare tree really stood out in the few seconds of sun at day’s end. I’ll be watching again tomorrow when the weather is supposed to be clearer.
Backlit Cattail
Backlit Cattail This afternoon’s walkabout was shorter than normal. The late afternoon sun caught this cattail nicely. The combination of the Nikon V1 and the 70-300mm lens is turning out to be my walkabout carry camera of choice. It’s hard to beat the convenience of light weight and good image quality. And, if you want to carry an extra lens or two, they’re small and light weight.
Busy Squirrel
Busy Squirrel The squirrels are busy in the woods too. Today’s walkabout took me through Bliss Woods. It does not feel like Spring yet and the critters must feel the same. Some birds are singing, of course, but only a few squirrels are really active. The Blue Herons are not back yet. They’re usually here by now. Also, the American White Pelicans have not stopped yet. They usually stop on several nearby lakes for about 10 days on their way north at the end of March.
