I enticed this sparrow with some rice. I didnt realize how close he came so I had to add some extension tubes with the 400mm f3.5 Manual focus lens.

My wife and I went walking thru the woods today hoping to see the young deer again, but we never saw him. However, we did come across a wetland area deep in the woods. As we approached we saw a White Egret walking in the water. He was about 50 yards away and flew away moments after he saw us. I wish we could have gotten closer as the water was smooth as glass and he had a nice reflection in of himself in the water... but there was so much brush, branches and fallen trees in the way that I could not get the composition that I wanted to achieve. Even though I did not capture the image I was hoping for, it was still enjoyable seeing him in his element. Very heavy crop...

So I had a really great day today I went out into the woods looking for that cute young deer that I had photographed on the previous page... and I found him! He is so young and unafraid of me. I could talk to him and he would look at me as if he could understand everything I was saying to him... he even smiled for his portrait

D800, Zeiss ZF.2 1,4/85 Planar
This is an intensely frustrating lens to shoot with, due to the focus shift. but when it hits, oh boy does it render beautifully.

Wonder if there's ever any problem getting rooms at Roy's Motel. Route 66, California. (Unleaded was $4.99/gal at Roy's gas station 
).

Thank you! The place sure felt weird. We were just passing through, but camping the same night in Joshua Tree NP which is pretty close.
Full moon (https://flic.kr/p/Gjiwwr) = not that many stars + Milky Way seems pretty low above the horizon still. The brightness at night allowed for 'daytime' looking photos - https://flic.kr/p/Gjiwm6
