I figured I'd try and start a thread of nature shots. I'll start.

Went fishing the other day, didnt do so well but I did manage to catch some shots of a red tailed hawk.

Next?

Take note of the great fall colors!

Can anyone identify this missing link?

John did you photoshop that copyright onto the buoy? looks great

Yep. Its just rastorized text layer,and I use a series of transform tools to tweak it so it looked like it was painted there. I did a lot of weird copyright notices back then. It was what I call my "paranoid" era, LOL.

There's a bunch more here: http://plan-b.smugmug.com/Photography/Pictures-Id-Like-You-To-See/901645_en55e#265077604_7rWTC

I'm really impressed guys.  Keep them coming!

Burley, that photo of the geese is great.

I figured as much. I used to do a lot of 'shopping. That's a cool way of sneaking them in there.

I very much enjoyed all of the photos; with the exception of the picture of that ugly old man.   

I saw a bald eagle today but didn't have anything capable of taking a quality picture...

Fourbizz, what a dream it would be to go where your pictures are. That place is simply beautiful.

Where is it?

Bizz - figured you would peak your head in this thread.  Nice pics buddy!

Awesome pics guys. What is everyone shooting with? I used a Canon 40D with the 200mm2.8LII with 1.4X II attached.

Keep the pictures coming
