Default Last post for a while
Things have suddenly become very busy and today we started a honey-do job of painting the house. My shooting time has dropped to zero, so until life slows down again this will be my last post for a bit. So I'll leave you with my favorite subject.

Sorry to hear that Fred, you will be missed, I hope that you get your projects done soon and can get back out there and share some more shots with us.
This is simply a beautiful capture. Great Background and Crystal clear detail.
Thanks for sharing this

Wow... what a beautiful bird. Great shot!
Is that a falcon? I could be totally wrong... and if I am, I am sorry.
Hurry back because your bird shots will be missed.
Thanks for sharing.

You know what they say about remodeling? It would be better just to move! Since this must tied us over for awhile, then leaving with a parting shot of a Kestrel was just the best parting gift ever. What a beauty. Thank you. Happy trails until we meet again!

That is such a beautiful capture Fred, perfect angle and composition. Crystal clear focus and a great DOF. If the honey do project goes half as well then the wifey is sure to be a happy woman. TFS

WoW Fred, an amazing shot, great detail. The way you have captured it is simply brilliant. The contrast is fantastic too and so is the blurred background. Great work !!!
