Female or immature male. When I caught a flash of this bird amongst the branches my first thought was Goldfinch, I was pleasantly surprised to realize it was an Evening Grosbeak, a lifer for me! Sorry I get carried away with the photos when It is something new for me.

A heavyset finch of northern coniferous forests, the Evening Grosbeak adds a splash of color to winter bird feeders every few years, when large flocks depart their northern breeding grounds en masse to seek food to the south. The yellow-bodied, dusky-headed male has an imposing air thanks to his massive bill and fierce eyebrow stripe. The female is more subtly marked, with golden highlights on her soft gray plumage. This declining species is becoming uncommon, particularly in the eastern United States.
A Grosbeak on Iron Hook,
the birds are all stirred up,
a large hawk came in and
took a jay chick from its nest.
Much squawking ensued,
and the chase was on.
I was heading for the beach this evening for an evening bath after work when I pictured this scene in my head. The beach is just a minute from this location, the same as the last uploaded photos.
The sun and light was like I've never seen it before, like a glowing ball caused by the fog in the air.
I used a LEE 0.6 GradND filter to ensure a bit more dynamic range for the shot, leaving less noise in the shadow in post processing:)
This native plant glows in the evening light. It's fun to watch the blossoms open over a few minutes time. This is a neighborhood garden plant and I am not certain what variety, but it is slightly different from the common Missouri Primrose I have had in the past.
This evening I hiked the granite ridge with a couple of friends. It was one of the most humid days I've seen in Killarney in a long time. The air was so dense and heavy with a misty haze everywhere.

I'm having a busy evening tonight making the dvd for the wedding I photographed. I'm putting on the wedding video and all the photos to a slideshow with music - lots of fun :-). I just wanted to stop by quickly and put on this photo I took the other day whilst photgraphing the sunset at Kinver edge - I really loved the lighting up there!
This evening, my Dad called me and told me to go out on my balcony right away. And for good reason. This scene greeted me. God, I love Santa Fe.
I took three pictures and meshed them to create a panorama. The colors were not enhanced or changed in any way.
Another HDR test with the new camera. This is the path down to a house by the lake. Beautifull place with lots of animals and nature around.
