Robins

A pair of American Robins searching for some breakfast. Hearing them sing while I am taking my morning walk always makes me smile. 1/2000sec, f5.6, ISO400

Coyote

This certainly isn't a stellar photo, but I was happy to finally have my camera on hand when I saw a coyote. 1/200sec, f5.6, ISO 100

Golden Ears

1/200sec, f/22, ISO 100 I've had lens flare in photos many times before, but I never recall have rainbow lens flare :) Fancy!

Sunday morning was incredibly beautiful.  We were up bright and early, and heading off for our favourite spot at the dikes before 6.  I haven’t had much success recently when I have taken my camera along, but this past Sunday more than made up for that.  I’ve got lots of images to go through, both landscape and of birds. 🙂

As I was driving, the light was so lovely that I had to pull aside and put on my 4-way flashers while I snapped away.  Good thing it was so early and the road was deserted.

Here are a few shots from the side of the road.  More to follow in the coming days as I have time to edit and organize.

I just had to stop the car to get a few photos. The mist, the mountains and the clouds were all just perfect.

African Pied Wagtail

This African Pied Wagtail most have gotten tired of flying, as it caught a ride on our boat during our river cruise along the Chobe. 1/1000sec, f4.8, ISO640

Wire-tailed Swallow

Along tag along on our river cruise! This wire tailed swallow had built a nest somewhere on the boat itself. 1/1000sec, f4.8, ISO800

African Pied Kingfisher

Decent photos of kingfishers elude me to this day! This is as good as it gets, so far. An African Pied Kingfisher along the Chobe River. 1/400sec, f5.3, ISO100

Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters

I couldn't have timed this better had I tried - I love the symmetry of their position and the shadows being cast by their beaks. 1/400sec, f5.6, ISO100
