some of the local flora and fauna from Mendocino

Just back from a week along the northern coast of California, specifically Mendocino through Eureka. A few pics to share.

Leon, these are some damb nice images! I love the hummingbirds slight wing blur, the duck is taken a a very pleasing angle with a great reflexion and the purple flower is framed very nicely!

Thanks, Paul. I haven't done much photography lately, and this is the most photography I've done in ages. Most of my time is spent with my kids, camping, biking, hiking, and my scout club. I even shot 90% of my photos that week in RAW format. I usually hate RAW just because of the extra workflow, but nothing beats it for the latitude it gives you in processing. Got a new hobby now, BIKING! Now if I can figure out how to mount my 1D on my Leader 736R race bike...

I too don't shoot much due to working and breeding/ caring for all my reptiles.
