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...

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 easy this month as i added two new lenses and expanded my subject choices.

 

Here are mine. A mixed bag and mixed cameras, some were taken on my "new" D700 that I bought to sit behind a Nikkon 28PC lens.




The River Po at Gualtieri near Reggio Emilia

I came across this cookery school photoshoot by accident whilst visting Colorno near parma.


The tree, I have photographed this brave little tree in lots of different times of year. Passo Comunella, Reggio Emilia.



Sabbioneta an Italian perfect city from the 16th century.

 

Mine for June

 

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).

 

Spent a couple days with Crdome wandering Port Huron Michigan and Sarnia Canada

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.
