A pair of Greenfinches:
(Tamron 70-210mm f2.8) This one can't fly so maybe that's cheating... (Minolta 200mm) |

Birds are amazing creatures (I guess all of you know that) but are also a tough subject (for me anyway). I always find myself too far away, with overcast sky, slow lens (AF and glass), below the subject all the time and with no tripod.
I got this picture because while sitting outside with my friend last sunday I saw a cardinal fly by (already late to catch that one). I thought it might come back so picked up the 7D and beercan. Well it didn't come back :-( but I got this one (sorry don't know its name) Cropped with some PP (more than some) Overcast, Beercan Great shots guys |

Great shots you all!
There were quite a few that had me hooked in front of the pics for a very long time. I must also admit that birding is a challenge i really like, im kind of addicted, totally, to it now. I even put an order for a longer lens, as i everything i shoot has been @ 200mm. Here are a few from yesterday; Now i need to go out and shoot more :) |

Why did the turkey cross the road?
Through the not too clean truck windshield yesterday with the wildflower lens, but you shoot with what you have when you come across a picture that will disappear. After this I tried pull off and get out to shoot again, but they were already into the grass. The image is cropped to about 10% of the original area. Apparently the lens focused around the bugs and Photoshop auto-temperature took care of the green filter. This is a Wild Turkey hen with a newly hatched brood. Squint hard and you will see tail-end Charlie lagging behind. 7D, Minolta 24-105, 1/500, f/11.0, at 105.0mm, iso400 distance between 100 and 150 yards. |

It just didn't occur -- not 100% sure why either, maybe the angle of the light, my shooting angle and short distance to subject. |

Hey Analytical, the turkeys might be a little soft, but that's a classic shot of some two lane Texas black top. Maybe thay can use it in the next field guide :D.
What's the wild flower situation like in the hill country? Roy (from Corpus Christi) |

It has been a good year for almost everything and there are bluebonnets where they have never been before. Actually bluebonnets aren't as interesting individually as some others, but if you live in Texas you are required to shoot Bluebonnets at every opportunity April 21 Even if it snows. April 7 |
