Sunflower Seeds are Yummy!

This greenfinch thinks sunflower seeds are really yummy! There's been a few of them that spend hours sitting on the feeder, stuffing themselves with seeds. 

Arctic Shipwreck

Looking at the mountains through a shipwreck. Mjóifjörður, Iceland. This is an HDR, from 3 exposures, and I've done some work to it in Photoshop to make the textures a little less like a photo.

Sparrow Hawk.

This sparow hawk was sitting on the fence in our back yard early one snowy morning. These Hawks eat small birds, so I think he was attracted by the activity at our bird feeders. Fortunately, he flew off without getting anything. Unfortunately, the light was very poor, and it ended up being a pretty noisy picture, I denoised it as subtlely as I could, and I think the image came out pretty well. This picture has been cropped as well.

The Raven

With it's black cape-like wings draping down as it flies, this raven almost has a bit of a batman look to it. We've had lots of ravens visiting our garden in the past week, but they are really shy, and fly off before I can photograph them. This one I got on a lucky shot, though!

Tree Creeper

A tree creeper searching for food in Sauerland, Germany. At this particular spot, there were several of them, all running up the trees looking for insects. Since these birds can only walk up trees and not down, they fly back down to the base for another run. It's very practical for photographing them!

Lines

This is another picture I took for an online photo contest. The theme was 'Lines'. I did a 30 sec. exposure on a bridge over the highway.

King of the Tree!

Morning Moon

The morning moon seen through our cherry tree.

Heron in Flight

I photographed this grey heron in Belgium, at the Achouffe brewery. They had a fish pond there, which seemed to attract all sorts of wildlife. The heron let us get pretty close to him before he took flight.
