Cool Lunch Time At The Local Diner

Just a few of the wildlife shots I have taken this year. It was lunch time so I took a few random shots at the local diner.

I am not sure this guy wanted me taking his picture. My guess is the service was slow.

The osprey was having the house special - Rainbow trout.

While the spotted sandpiper was snacking on bugs,

the ground squirrel settled for a nut salad.

Cracking Images and you have captured them beautifully. I love the sharpness, color and composition of the all but especially the Sandpiper. It is concentrating so hard on that bug that you captured the moment just beautifully. Well done, thanks for sharing...

I have got to agree with David. A great set of lunching animals. I like them all too but the Osprey with the Rainbow Trout is kind of special. Very nice work Wildjob. I love them all.

Wildjob these are wonderful. I'd call the 1st one Grumpy! Great capture on the Osprey? and the Sand Piper looks like he's just about to Pounce. Perfect focus on the last one as well
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

Some excellent shots of wild life getting ready for lunch. I really like the sharpness showing a lot of detail and texture. Super shots.
