We spent the day out on the lake yesterday. By the time we got home I was too pooped to pop. I did catch one pretty bird on the way out though...



I just love that my birds are out and about this time of year.

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

I used a Tamron 18-270mm zoomed out to 270. The sun coming in over his back gave me the highlights I needed to back light him. These birds never fail to amaze me.
