I left my heavy Sigma 50-500 and tripod at home today and went for a walk with my Tamron 28-200 lens on the K20d. Nice lightweight stroll for a change and here are a few from the day...

This large curl of birch bark caught my eye...


It is warming up, I saw this little fellow running across the snow....


I liked the colour on this plant...


and more bark...


But, not a single bird....
