This shot is lit by moonlight as much as the dark sunset. (2 second exposure)

I need to try more of that night/low light stuff. The water in your photo looks quite ethereal . . .

This guy showed up on my kitchen window screen last evening; little bastard tried to sell me some insurance.

I've seen a few of these little guys around in the last few days since the rain came. This one was only about 2 1/2 inches long.

That is an old & magnificent rooster! Those are stunning shots, John.

Jim, indeed, a magnificent bird. Big bird !! I think I saw him all this Spring. He was a bully to the other roosters.

Will try and find some shots of the big guy this spring next to a standard size bird.

Pics taken in the ross lake national rec area last month. Some are claiming this bear is a grizz. I say brown phase black bear.

Sorry but I can't seem to get the ring neck to load. Was it removed?
