A beautiful growth of Agaricales mushrooms.
This red-shouldered hawk must have been hungry...or likes his picture taken. He came to our backyard three times in one evening. I'd go out and get some pictures, he'd fly off with a robin in hot pursuit, only to return again in 20 minutes. Hope he got dinner somewhere.

Not even close to a 'great' Bighorn shot but they were at the edge of town atop an embankment, and at the limit of camera range. The big winds did nothing to help trying to focus.

Strong cold front coming into the Philly area around 7pm. My original plan was to grab some lightning shots (didn't happen), but pulled over and noticed it getting brighter towards the west. Figured there might be a pretty intense rainbow. It did not disappoint.

Incredible lens, and one I never thought I could reasonably afford. However I was lucky enough to pick up a 'damaged' VR1 version for £160 (about $198). The usual 2nd hand price is in excess of £500.
The damage was limited to the lens surround, and it was described as being unable to take the hood or lens cap. However the inner thread quite happily took an 82mm metal hood and an 86mm cap fitted the whole thing perfectly, and has hidden any broken parts.
Cheers

what kind of flowers are these? double columbine? the color and form is really lovely.

have fun with the new lens! i only ever use mine for portraits, I should pull it out for more nature stuff sometime. ?
It’s an Aquilegia, self seeded from just a few plants to a lovely covering - probably my favourite flower at this time of year. Some of them have reverted to a purple colour which is their native plumage, but they are also gorgeous.
What puts me off using this lens for that type of shot is the 5’ minimum focus, but as it’s 2.8 throughout the range I got away with it.
It’s also pretty good with an old Kenco 1.4 teleconverter, so I’m looking forward to trying it out on some wildlife.
PS - yes, I’ve just looked it up and columbine is it’s common name
Cheers

Taken this evening at the Ardingly Showground.
It's really beautiful: nice pink tones
Tomorrow I will share the photo of the one I have
It's coming back by itself too? (second year) but has a different shape and it's purple and white.
