I finally took the camera out...

Weather, work, home life, and the woodworking hobby has kept me from getting out with the camera. I took this week off - not much of a vacation considering all the chores I've let build up - and managed a morning at Allen's Pond.

For the most part I think I remembered how everything works...

Good to see you back and shooting/posting again Scott!
These are awesome captures. Love the swallow, the shiny feathers are beautiful. Nice timing on the sandpiper. Caught him/her sneaking.

Excellent shots Scottes, missed your posts. I partial to the the little piper.

Love the details and colour on the swallow, that's a very good shot.
looks like the bird in second shot is singing it's heart out.
And the tiptoeing sandpiper is also excellent, well done.

Excellent shots. Love the colours in the first one. Brilliant work.
