p.1 #1 · SoCal Sampler

Here's some images from the last couple of weeks here in SoCal.
#1 Picking up where I left off with my last post. Love is still in the air.

#2 The world looks just a bit more beautiful when you're in love........

#3 Of course, all that loving leads to the need for nesting material .....

#4 Love also works up a "little" appetite.

#5 And sometimes ............... A "BIG" appetite.

#6 But, we're getting ahead of ourselves. After all ...... you have to first strut your stuff so that you can attract a suitable mate, as these guys are doing.

#9 Do I look good, or what?

I know how you feel. You have no idea how many of these encounters I had to go through before getting them turning in the right direction.

Thanks. I've also been working on swallows in flight. But I don't have anything without a big crop, yet.

Super work, Ken, and glad to see you're back out in the field. Where did you see the White-Face Ibis? You got some great looks at their iridescence. And #2 is a shimmering morning shot --- SJWS? Hope to see you "out there" soon...

Best Wishes,
Steve

Hi Ken -- nice shots.
I like DOF in #1 & #2; detail in #3; good catch in #5

Overall, I like your cropping too.
