Went out early this morning and took about 200 pictures of landscape and wildlife.
This one struck me as being especially cool. Nature vs Man-Made, all ready and waiting for me to find.

Yes I know...have a bunch of them out back. What I meant was "there are many things to discover" when we "stop to smell the Roses". :cool:

But these crows were not best pleased to be disturbed so early in the morning. A couple of kites were buzzing through their nesting site and causing havoc.

lol guys, Dentin spotted the two crows doing an impression of a P38, can you see them?
Stalwart, I would love to enter something like that, thanks for the info. It tells me i have to pay for a membership to enter, so i may think about it for some time. Thanks for the kindness, I also think many people on that website are actualy very talented whereas i just go and click a few pictures sometimes and get lucky here and there.

I've been following this butterfly yesterday afternoon for few miles, abandoned my truck in "non stooping zone", jumped 2 fences, got chased by dogs but ...finally i put my Canon on him :D

He was... My family has a lake front cabin on 20 acres in Northern Wisconsin... There is a tree that lightning struck and killed the top 1/3 many years ago. The Eagles love to perch there, watching the lake for fish near the surface. On this day, I had a 300mm f2.8 lens with a 2x teleconverter on a Canon 10d camera. The Eagle was looking out over the lake, I snapped a few shots... Then I whistled. He looked directly at me. Then I got the shot you see, eye to eye with the great bird.
The full resolution shot is really breath taking.

canon D10...woohooo. We need to start an O'club Canon D10 appreciation fan club :)

We have some kind of blackberry here that doesnt have the barbs but they do have huge seeds! I think I prefer natures method over mans in the case of barbs.

Nautre > Man
Right on Chalenge!

Hehe, I would join, but I recently replaced my D10 with a 5D Mk2 for portrait work and an EoS1D Mk3 for Sports/Action... I would consider selling my 10D... But in all honestly, I've ran more then 1.5 million images through it and I'm on my fourth shutter assemby. So, it's really not much more then a paper weight at this point. I tend to use my camera equipment to death.

Nice, I'll see your one Bald Eagle

Here is one of my favorite critters to photograph; Pika, they are a threatened species only found in high altitude rock fields where they make their nests.
(http://www.kirksagers.com/Nature/Wildlife/Pika/DSC00727/650685243_b6wsS-L-1.jpg)
I've sat on a lot of rocks on cold mountain mornings trying to photograph these guys.
And this weekend I found a HUGE Beaver lodge with lots of fresh sign around it. I sat there for 3 1/2hrs at dusk waiting, they never showed, didn't get a single shot. I'll try again though, I know they are there.
-
Very nice Saggs, very nice indeed. I bet it is not easy to get close to those Pikas.
-
All very nice pics.
The very first one is a keeper.

Yeah they're impossible to sneak up on.
The trick is to let them get close to you, I pick a spot (early morning, or late evening, when they are most active) were they are likely to come pick grass (for their nests) and just wait very quietly, and very still. That shot I was about 10 ft. away, don't think he ever noticed me there. Probably though I was just a funny looking rock.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for posting them. Especially appreciated the kite pics, I spent a few years in Wales looking after Milvus milvus.
:cool:

They are dominating the food chain round here between oxford and london, Simba! Ten years ago they were introduced to the wildlife here and looked like they may fail to get a foothold, but now I see them circling over our village every day! Thanks for looking, I'll try and get some more up. It's been hard to get out lately as it just keeps raining.
