So this was the first of the 5 little Canada goslings to jump off the roof of my barn yesterday. I knew this was going to be happening sometime yesterday so I had, the day before, set up a spot where I would be able to just sit and watch and wait.

I knew exactly where they would jump down from (it's only an 8 ft drop) but it was just a matter of when.

I woke up a little before 6 AM yesterday morning, grabbed my binoculars to check if the geese were still on my barn roof which they were, then I took care of all my animals, brushed my teeth, got dressed, grabbed my camera and a couple extra batteries and planted myself in the spot I had chosen to watch from.

I waited about 6 hours for the event to happen but I didn't mind the wait. And to clarify, it didn't take 6 hours for the goslings to jump. Once they got started it was a matter of seconds but It was so worth it to me to get to see this happen. I purposely am not zooming in on the gosling that's falling because the siblings watching from above on the roof are, in my opinion, an important part of the story.

They watched so intently and it was amazing to me how the goslings were very quick to get down to business and jump, one after the other until they'd all made it down to where mom and dad were waiting, then they all left and headed for one of my neighbor's ponds.

I got good shots of the 1st, 2nd and 5th goslings jumping down but for the 3rd and 4th goslings, the photos were crap. I was so mad. But at least 3 out of the 5 turned out good, I don't know what I did on those 2 that didn't turn out but it is what it is. I'm happy for what I got.

Lots of people probably don't care a bit about watching geese leave a nest but this event was for me a real highlight. Anything in nature like this is what thrills me to the bone.

So in the next few days I'll be sharing some images with you that I got yesterday. So stay tuned. Or don't. Whatever floats your boat :-)

First time attempting to grow some of my own veggies. I'm delighted when I saw this beauty emerge. How does a tomato even grow, let alone turn from green to yellow? Seems rather miraculous to me. Can't wait to taste it with the purple basil and other herbs!

I took this, along with some others, in low light this morning. Trying to get the hang of flight shots. Very high ISO, but the focus appeared to work pretty well. Really liking the increased speed of locking on!

The first of the four Peregrine Falcon fledglings is taking his first, short flight. He might be the first born too, out of the nest one day before the other three.

Note that there are still many down feathers under the wings and on top of his head.

Thanks for stopping by.

First Water Cove. Canyon Lake Arizona. The Fountain Grass growing along the shore is an invasive species of grass. It's pretty, but not exactly a good thing. Way to many invasive non native plants in Arizona.

Using the Sony 1.4 TC. Forced at f/9 in lousy light but I had my shutter up hoping it would fly. In any case, I really don't notice any reduction in sharpness or focus speed in using it. That is a good thing using the full-frame A9...
