Not a great photo, at all. It was cropped too far in, using a 2x convertor on a 400mm lens with a crop sensor, jpg, 200+ yards away, horrible light… blah blah blah, not good. The best zoom every camera has is the feet of the photographer, but the sign on the fence disagreed with me this time. I was lucky to learn of a spot where Don and Glenn (there are two and thats what I call them) hang out, thanks to my friend Ben – he has far better photos than this, and more patience them me. This was my first time there. Again, everything could be better. But knowing where to point the camera is step one. We will see better photos of this one, I promise.

Today’s moon is 27.73% visible and is crescent.

Back out to see if I can get some hummingbird photos. The light was rough, but really I would have been fine without the camera. Just enjoying them zipping in and out. They are too fun to watch and even cooler to listen to. I knew they were there by the sound. It is almost mechanical sounding. They knew I was there too. They seemed to know I was waiting for them. I am less mechanical and more just too large to hide.
