At Thanksgiving- I struck out on any big raptor birds in Oregon, but Grandma has a pair of hummingbirds she feeds year round. They are pretty shy, but I got a few photos of them!
Got out around 8am on a Sunday to see if I could see any birds at the Palo Alto Baylands. Saw a sharp shinned hawk, some hummingbirds, a pair of grumpy looking turkey vultures that easily had 5 ft wing spans and let me walk right under them!
Great fun watching the F-35, one of the newest fighters in the USAF, the p-51 mustang, the United Boeing 777-300ER and of course, the Blue Angels fly over SF. I took all these photos with my Sony A7rii + Sony 100-400 FE4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens.
Even on a cold, foggy Summer morning in San Francisco, there was beauty at the SF Botanical Garden. Here are a few photos. Click the image to enlarge.
Had to kill some time while my dog Ewok was being groomed, so I went to Stanford Cactus Garden and took some photos of the hummingbirds.
