While out photographing our winter visiting Sandhill Cranes this great looking gal came by.

Another trip to put the new 5D Mark III thru some tests to see how it will do for BIFS ... so far so good.

I took the 3rd photo intentionally .... It allowed me to chek how the camera and lens combination would lock on the subjects .... and not the sticks in the background. I was happy with the results.
