Busy Morning in the Rolling Plains - 10-02-2011, 11:42 AM
Critique: NC:

What a great time of year. After months of bruising heat the temperature is finally moderating. In fact, I wore a jacket this morning as I prowled around the countryside close to my home.

The wildlife is glad the heat has subsided as they are on the move.

This morning, I saw a crazy array of wildlife in about two hours time. Yet another reason I love Northwest Texas.

Nice series Russell. In particular I like the background color and overall lighting with the Kingfisher.

Great photos as always! We've seen coyotes right out in the open the last few weeks just sitting in fields or running across the highway.

Glad to be posting again.

This summer had the animals boogered and I hardly ever say any.

I never really slow down on photography, however. A lot of what I do is for clients so that work gets embargoed. Therefore, I haven't had too much time to do stuff for myself lately.

Thanks!

RG
