haven't been on in a while... my computer died, and it took me a while to get a new one set up and replace all my links... :( but everything is back to work now, so here's a series i shot at Juanita Bay Park yesterday afternoon...

this great blue heron was perched on top of a tree swallows' nesting box at the park this afternoon, but he looked like he might do something interesting at any time, so i stuck around to wait and watch. sure enough, after about 10 minutes, he spotted supper among the lily pads, and i was able to get this series from about 30 feet away as he took a dive and came up with what looks like a nice trout... the actual series is 8 frames, but out of deference to those on dial-up, i've left out several. hopefully these will give you the flavor of the event... ;) 40D, 100-400L @ 130mm, 1/1250 @ f/7.1...

Really beautiful, Rocky.

Great bird, great shots! Canon you say? ;) You'll pry my little Sony out of my cold dead fingers.... Wait! That was yesterday. I'm saving my money. :D

Naw. I can't compete with you guys. It's my Sony and me forever. But I love this site and the photos you people post here. What a treat! Thanks! C.

Great series, very nice! I really like how the water drops are so sharp, it gives a great sense of motion to the whole thing.
