I did a 2+ hour hike deep into the woods at the John James Audubon Preserve today. I was surrounded by hundreds of birds and 80ยบ weather.
There were many Tree Swallows darting overhead - I struggled achieving focus.

Beautiful, Elliott. The mosquito on the turtle is awesome.

Thanks, Ken. I was covered with spray as the deer ticks are abundant there.
Excellent results on tough subjects, Elliott!

Thanks, Mike. I enjoyed the day.
Nice photos. I was across the road, 422, from the Audubon sanctuary today walking my dogs on the paved trail. I was trying to wear down their claws a little. Their summer trip to the groomer isn't until next week and their claws are getting a bit long, and as they are basically lap dogs, Coton de Tulear's, and they're always jumping up on my legs and lap, and I usually always wear shorts at home, well, you get the picture. It was a nice day out there today. When I worked just around the corner and down Egypt road, I use to go to the Audubon sanctuary quite often.
Fabulous set, Elliott. Beautifully done. Several favorites but the turtle/mosquito portrait is the prize winner for me.
Wonderful set. As usual. Thanks for sharing
