Tonight I had an appointment with Nico. He was more interested in eating than posing for photos. Okay a week later take 2. I tried something different, a Gary Fong collapsible powersnoot.

Wild Turkey
I went to work at a lab in San Leandro and was shocked to see wild turkeys. I made sure I had my camera this time.
Chocolate Labbie Dabbie
Today I heard a commotion in the backyard so I ran out and witnessed a Chocolate covered Labbie Dabbie having some fun with his family.
Backyard Safari
Morning tradition, wake up early, cup of coffee & camera. Well actually this is a collection from a couple of days.
Egret Territory
Egrets are very territorial. Guess the good fishing spots are all taken. Either that or he didn’t have the proper permits.
Burday
We spent all day surrounded by burdz. After getting Vega & Cosmo cleaned up we returned them back to Jim & Kelly. Then went to dinner at the Tribune Tower in Oakland.
Humphrey likes the SL1
For whatever reason Humphrey allowed me to get very close to him today. I shot this on my new SL1 with a 100mm f2.8 macro lens.
Hummer feeding time
Sandy called me from the kitchen and pointed out back. I was attempting to hold my big lens steady while waiting for Mama to come with dinner. This whole sequence took about an hour. Meanwhile my nose was running, legs & back were cramping.
Feathers a flyin’
Lots of feathered conflict over the lagoon the past couple of days. Hummingburds chasing crows, crows chasing vultures, ducks chasing ducks. No one is getting along.
Hummingburd
Spotted a baby hummer in the backyard today.
