I could probably fill a top five from just today. I have had great opportunities for nature shooting this month. It is very hard to narrow it down. I reserve the right to make another post once I am back home...

Super Takumar 50 1.4 This one is going to get a nice print.

I really like this shot. Excellent.

 

Quite the bit of variety for me this month. A little travel, a little hiking, and some motorcycle racing as well.

 

Kind of slow month for me, but I managed a couple hrs of nature walks either at lunch or after work while on business travel. Enough for five that I liked, in any case.

It's a virtue

Bullfrog

Owls of the World from Hawk Quest and SSPRD (captive)

Hummingbird

 

Thank you. The funny thing is is that I almost didn't include it.

Not much for me in June other than a lot of grandchildren. Mundelein, Illinois had a car show for Community Days, and I believe that it was to fund the cost of keeping and restoring Old Number 1. Here they are: (all were taken with the Olympus E-M1.2 and the O7-14 Pro).

All taken with O12-40, it's quickly becoming the only lens that's ever on my camera.

 

Some the last couple of days from my hols, some from the local camera club that I've started going to this month, and the last one from one of my daughters dance comps.
