Lots going on down there is all I can say. I even found a GBH nest.



This has to be one of my favorites!

Very nice series Sandy. Your timing on the fifth shot was perfect - catching the minnow just before it was consumed.

Thanks. I'm 70% satisfied with this Nikon year-1981 Manual Focus 300mm f4.5 lens. I took off the teleconverter and I'm happier with the results.
I really like the reach it has compared to my 70-200mm 2.8.
Being that these are all hand held I was impressed with the majority of this set.

I'll be going back very soon for some more!

Sorry the pictures are so large. I need to play around with the size that looks right on here.

Great Shots Sandy
That lens does have some good detail and you did these while manually focusing.I agree with Lonnie,these seem to be your best so far.You did a great job and deserve a mitt for both hands.

Sandy does deserve the mitts, Dennis, but I think we are going to have to
hog tie Lonnie and get him to cough them up!!!

Excellent work Sandy! Like the others said, it's your best yet! You've really made some strides with your photography in a very short period of time.
