Samish Island Road in Skagit County just north of Mt Vernon today.

They look like great shots to me.

Love the eagles...wish I had more of those around here!

 

This weekend was unfortunately not one I could get out and do any wetlands birding - I got a new computer at home and spent part of the weekend transferring 250GB of data from one to the other, and setting the new one up, and the other day was mostly rained and clouded out. So the only photos I managed to squeeze in during the entire week were around the house and backyard, with my mirrorless cam. So, here are a few:

 

Flower in my backyard on a cloudy day:

 

Squirrel looking for a peanut handout in the front yard:

 

Cardinal hanging out in my yard, with overcast skies:

Wow! Great shots this week!

We made a trip south to southern NM to the White Sand Dunes! My first time there!

 

This is me...and my Sadie!

 

We also found out that Pistashio's are grown there....and this one was still hanging on!

[Jsim2011]

Thanks, I will have to try and get there this weekend.

Thanks for the comments.

 

Me and my wife are so wanting to get up close enough to get a great eagle shot. In three years we've seen three - WAAAAAAAAY far away so they are a smudge on the image. Yesterday, Cape Canaveral has a nest the size of a VW Bug in a tree on the property, baby and momma sitting on a branch - the bus driver called it out but only slowed down, wouldn't stop so we could get a good pic of it.

 

To tag a last couple on this thread from the Disneyworld trip last week.

 

Been playing with the lens/shift thing - some good, most bad...

Fuel barges and other ships as we leave Port Canaveral

...and some regular shots I liked...

 

Pushing the fuel barge away before sailing

 

 

House of Blues at Downtown Disney (handheld slooooow with some processing)

 

 

Loading out the Disney Magic. The round windows just seem to say "old timey" to me, so I tried B&W. I think it works, if you don't notice...

 

 

...the guy on a cell phone!!!

Unreal flowers...
