Nine-Years Ago (03-May-2008) — Colorado

Springtime Nature in Colorado.

I spent the day at Rocky Mountain National Park. It was  early spring, and the upper elevations of the park had not opened yet due to snow. There were a number of birds and mammals looking for food. I finally identifed one of the birds from that day as a Grey-headed Junco. I also spent time working with a 24 mm f/3.5 PC-E lens to do some landscape images.

Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey.

Walkabout in my backyard with a new (at the time) lens. Actually, a 600 mm f/4 lens is a bit too heavy to be used handheld, so I didn’t get many images. A mushroom, a Robin that likes bitter-sweet berries, and a turkey vulture soaring.

Backyard Spring Nature in New Jersey.

American Robin Swallowing a Worm (or is it a Catapiller?). I’ve been trying to figure out what the Robins and Crows have been finding to eat in my backyard. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/2000 sec). Note this is a 100% crop.
