Purple Finch? maybe?

I also have two really pretty bird baths right by this fountain and that's actually where the majority of these small birds go for water.

Although nearly fully grown and independent, before crossing the path, this male kitten wanted his mother to take the lead.

Someone took a shoot of me too :-)

This female Blue Jay quickly took advantage of the peanuts that were put out. She took 3 in her beak, flew off to parts unknown, then returned for more.

Taking a moment to leave the house, stand outside at the edge of the gravel road, see the golden light, watch the roadside grasses moving in the breeze, feel the wind and enjoy the songs of the birds.

This Great Blue Heron took flight as soon as I put my eye to my camera. I dream of someday having that 500mm lens so I can capture these beauties without scaring them away.

Hope you are all doing well. Have a great week!

Oliver, the local hooded merganser takes a quick break before preening and then continuing his hunt for fish. I went looking for him yesterday and he was gone, hopefully flying south to a nice warm spot. Safe travels little friend!

Most of the time as a photographer, you have to be extremely patient and lucky to photograph certain animals such as coyotes.

Contrary to what we read or see in the news, animals such as coyotes are more scared of us than we are of them.

After waiting for about 3 hours hidden in the brush, a family of coyote walked past me without noticing me at first. I was fortunate enough to snap this portrait of one of the coyotes before they quickly disappeared into the forest

This time, both in Bali. A volleyball court on the left, and temple steps on the right.

I took advantage of the daylight savings time hour gain after work and headed out to the nearby ponds. Evidently these guys were feeding rather close consecutively for two days. I showed up and they were nowhere close! I did get this one at a fair distance before the sunset.

As we were making our way home through the Forest on Friday we spotted a large herd of cows in a stream. Whist the rest of the herd were crossing, these two just seemed to be having a moment. This is a really popular tourist spot in Brockenhurst where people sit at the side of the stream. It gets really crowded with children paddling in the water so locally it is known as "Brockenhurst Beach". I am not sure I would let any of my family paddle in there knowing what the cows sometimes use it as -lol

Took this last year, don't know why it didn't get posted.

HWW!! :))

A foggy morning along the San Francisco Central Waterfront. This is pretty typical weather for this location. As Mark Twain once said, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.
