Springtime is for the Birds!

As the weather is getting warmer, but unfortunately not drier, some of my favorite subjects are more active. I’ve found a few good spots to watch some of the local birds and have located several active Osprey nests and one Eagle nest. I’m amazed at the number of Bald Eagles in the local area and have managed to get a couple of pictures of them so far. I recently purchased a new camera, the amazing 45MP Canon R5 and a new lens, the Canon RF100-500mm and 2X extender, which have allowed me to get some great results so far.

Spring is also time for flowers and we recently visited the lily fields in Lacamas Regional Park where there are thousands of the local Camas Lily. They should be in full bloom in a week or two, but they are off to a good start.

I’ve uploaded a lot of new pictures (a few below) and will continue to do so. As I have time, I’m going to try to add captions and information about them. I’m also hoping to go back and re-process some of my older images with some great new tools, so stay tuned.
