Blow wind blow... Making the best of every situation.

Normally I avoid taking the boat out in the wind. It is hard enough shooting from a rocking boat usually zoomed all the way out. But it is Spring and I have caught the fever so I went out anyway.

The Osprey didn't seem to mind playing in the wind...




These guys seemed to really like a little wind in their sails...




And really... without the wind gently pushing me towards this young hawk with the motor shut off - I never would have gotten this close to him...
