Happy that they're back. I can try my hands on them again :)

Won't be back here until next month but I love swallows and watching them fly.
Love that one with the reflection off the water.

Beautiful.
I couldn't imagine how much panning practice is required to capture these speed demons. Hope to see more.

Very nice - especially the reflection. - TF

Hmm...interesting, considering I'm just a few hours drive North of you and we had sightings of tree swallows a week or so ago.. I think many of the swallows are still on their way though.

Thanks for the kind comments, folks !! Really appreciated it.


Got another one today:

I still have a long way to go but will keep shooting.

Hmm......I've never seen them here until about mid April but maybe 'cuz we're in the hills.
I should make a trip to the lowlands one of these times. You must have a lot of patience and resolve to catch these guys in flight.

I think mine are due back in a few weeks?

Great images. wait, amazing images!

Nicely done! I've never seen the violet-green variety.

The tree swallows started arriving here two weeks ago.

wow! Those are beautiful shots. Amazing that you caught those speed demons so clearly.
