Looks like you are having a great time!

Wonderful shots, really like the two ducks flying

[saurora]

What a great day you had!!! Such a variety. I have to say I have a thing for pelicans. Too bad it's not a nicer background on that one, because I really like the lovely angle you have on his glide. The others are all great....no complaints here! :clap :clap

I like the Hummer, thats a tough shot against a blue sky, did you use fill flash on that one.

[Harryb]

Excellent shots Russ and it is fun.

Outstanding series Russ. Where was I? I love the two ducks best, but all were very good. And I said it would be a bad day; my advice to you is never pay attention to what I say.......:clap :clap :clap

Thanks Thusie,
I'm definitely having a wonderful time getting these shots. And even when the getting is slim it's nice to be outdoors anyway.

Thanks Saurora,
I agree, the background in the Pelican shot could've been a little less distracting. It could definitely benefit from some some selective blurring in PS. thanks

Thanks Froggy,
I love humming birds...and I think lately they're starting to warm up to me too. A little later I'll be posting one that I captured this morning.
BTW I did use fill flash for this shot, thanks for asking.

Thanks William,
I looked and looked but couldn't find any eagles, so I figured these would have to do :D. Glad you like them.
