A Blue-grey Gnatchatcher was kind enough to allow me to watch her fidgeting in her nest, and fussing with some last minute work on its construction, and then pose for a portrait in a nearby branch. #birds #birdphotography #nikonphotography #wildlife

Walked by a fire today. Had the new Nikon 70-200 2.8 II on the camera. No sign of the fire on the street, so....
Awesome shot!
The very last bird I thought I'd see in the big city proper (this taken on a busy street in a light industrial area, and maybe 30 metres from a bulldozer moving earth): Eastern Wild Turkey hen. She was relaxed enough to be feeding on bugs in the grass #birds #urbanwildlife #nikonphotography
Yearling bull moose peeking out of the bush at the edge of the marsh. #moose #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography #canada
Bull moose with a mouthful of red (e.g. young and succulent) Fragrant Water Lily. This guy simply did not stop eating for a moment, even when moving, while we spent an hour with him until he swam, waded right past us. #moose #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography #wildCanada
Just swimming on by; he was close. Not quite inside the minimum focusing distance of the 600 f4 TC at 840, but nearly :) Do note the swarm of blackflies.

One of my photos made it to the nominated stage (to be judged for final prizes) which also apparently means it's eligible for people's choice awards. So, please vote; appreciate it.

The remarkable artist (and man) David Hockney has died. A blow to a (increasingly rare) world that values beauty, not the market.
I am fortunate to have a work of his, which sits above my desk. (Sorry for the lousy photo.)
RIP Mr. Hockney.
