the gryph usually edits its photos to hell and back (and back to hell (and back)), but this one is straight off the camera: the way the petals and background is rendered is so perfect it doesn't even want to touch it.

minimal focus distance plants! look at that bokeh from the 300mm f2.8, so smooth like running water

300mm... what a focal length for small bird habitat shots! uncropped, I just love the birds face, behavior, and branch!

a moment of serenity with the same hummingbird as before. i love this framing and angle, it feels like you're really "in the bush" alongside this hummer.

one of my best hummingbird images! taken yesterday evening, this Allen's hummingbird gives a great big stretch of his wings before going off and being evil.
really, im not joking. it went and attacked another hummingbird .2s after this image. they're ruthless!

an unedited shot of a plant, r7 + tamron 100-400, just love the rendering!

a male Allen’s Hummingbird poses on a branch, feathers puffed up and making eye contact.
handheld at 400mm ISO 6400 1/640th. post digital and sensor crop, this is a 2600mm equivalent image!! wow, technology is amazing. and hummingbirds are tiny.

a stunningly colored orange-crowned warbler surveys his domain; a kingdom of reeds and sprouting plants all under his control. or so he thinks, i'm not going to tell 'em otherwise!
these birds are incredibly skittish, one of my first good shots of one!

a curious juvenile California Towhee checks out what is making all that clicking noise! it's my camera shutter. it fluttered off after it gave me a good gander

some sparrows forage in a hurricane for food, brave but hungry. the right one is a fledgling, begging and begging for more food.

a black pheobe looks pointedly into the camera with a piercing gaze. sharp feather details on the face, and chest, glistening eyes beak and wings.
most of my best shots are of pheobes, they're just so photogenic! at the bottom left, you can see a remnant of preening, some powder down feathers!

look at the absolutely stunningly beautiful shimmering wings of this golden weaver. he flutters his wings at a female (off frame) he hopes to convince he's a good mate.
longer video of interesting behavior + how these birds can _tie knots using grass_ eventually!
video was taken using R7 + 100-400 at a zoo.

Saw these cuties this morning as I stepped out to do chores. Thought I'd try to share a slice of #Ozarks life here to get back in the social media habit.

in case you ever wanted to know what the inside of a cockatiels crest looked like. weird photo

a worm muncher i saw at the zoo. it wasn't part of any exhibits, it was just a bird digging through the dirt looking for worms. (the bird did find worms, don't worry)
