A Spring Show of Color

© Jeff R. Clow

 

This fine fellow was sunning on one of our plant stands in our backyard this afternoon.....and I patiently watched him for some time.

 

Eventually, he noticed me and started showing off by displaying his brightly colored dewlap under his throat.

 

This was taken with a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens coupled with a Nikon 20 TCE lll teleconverter. I shot it with my Nikon D7000 from about six feet away. The teleconverter and the use of the DX body gives the combination an effective focal length of 600mm.

 

If you have a moment, I hope you'll view this at one of the larger sizes....
