            Nice job on the Fox and Squirrel. Foxes are so cool. There are a few Fox familes near the beach here and some local photographers have taken some incredible shots of them.

              Love the spontaneity of your fox shot and the sharpness of squirrel shot is very good especially being shot at 1/100th/sec. I spent a long time learning to use my 100 - 300 and get consistent results and still it's a work in progress. I now shoot it with shutter priority at 1/500, center focus with tracking, high speed burst and over expose by at least 1 1/3 stops if shooting birds in flight to compensate for backlighting. Otherwise regular exposure. The speed to eliminate any camera shake at long focal lengths, noise from higher ISO is easier to fix or live with than blur. Over exposure to compensate for backlighting because if it's accidently over exposed it renders better in Post than under exposure. I set my C1 with these settings so when I swap lens the settings are right there. I also learned the hard way to leave the long lens on when I'm hiking, biking or just driving round. The critters won't wait for you to swap lenses but the landscapes will. LOL Duh!

                      Great pics guys. Both the variety of interests and technical abilities are impressive.

                      Another snapshot of wind over snow patterns sculpted on a lake. The area covered is about 12' wide by 25' deep. Wind was from left to right.

                        Met up with Scott (Cowboyup) today for a ride along Kentucky Lake and through the Land Between the Lakes. This is him taking a long distance shot of the Bison at LBL. We had a great ride and a good time.

                        Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                          Spring is arriving to our area and got out on the bicycle today to explore some trails and ponds. Found some of these guys.

                            As exotic as the Goldeneye looks, the mesmerizing pattern of the waves is outstanding.

                                Bees, Ducks, and Bison....Good stuff everyone....

                                A different animal today for me....Not sure the vintage, but for sure an older rebuild.

                                EDIT: The guys over in one of my train forums tell me it is an EMD SD40-2. Made anywhere from '72 to '89. So, looking good!
