The local Osprey hawk came by this morning with breakfast (a fish). He/she likes to sit on the edge of the roof outside our bedroom. I wish it wasn't so cloudy. This would've looked great against a blue sky showing off the feathers. Image shot with Canon 70D with Canon 100-400mm L II lens.

Doing more testing of my new lens, Canon 100-400mm L II, and loving it. Here is a gator that visits a few times aweek in the cancel behind our condo. I love the texture and detail this lens gets. Very sharp. Where have you been all my life? Lol. This reminds me of a little gator saying: "It's not that difficult to tell alligators and crocodiles apart. One will see you in a while whereas the other will see you later."

I just received my new lens, Canon 100-400mm L II. These were my first shots. I went out behind our condo and there was a lot of activity today. Birds and gator. I kept my eye on the gator as I was photographing the birds. I didn't want to be surprised. Anyway, I'm happy so far with the lens. Just need to get used to the size and weight of it.

Star Wars, Star Wars. That is all you are hearing the last few weeks. So, why shouldn't I add to the hipe? I shot the Darth Vader balloon at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM. As you can guess there were a lot of cheers when Darth flew over the huge crowd.
