This is all I see

when I zoom with my 300mm lens. That is the reason why I am so happy to have gigapixel for cropping.

This was taken yesterday at the dam on our olive grove.

Hi there handsome! I like the close-ups, but I like these shots too. It's good to see the environment every now and then. And now we can see why they really "dress up" during mating season. When they're brown, they blend right in.
