Spotted this hawk sitting in a tree next to the road around Bear Lake. However before we could get our cameras out of their bags he took off, just managed to get this shot as he flew over the hill. About the same size as a red tailed hawk but we think that it is in fact a rough legged hawk. Shot with usual camera, tele elmar 1:4/135 at f6.3, 1/640 cropped to 7x

Snow started at lunch time yesterday and by this morning we had 14" on our patio table. Went for a snowshoe just before lunch, once the snow had stopped. Usual camera but with the Panasonic 14-45mm lens. Shot of our patio at f6.3, 1/250, 17mm lens, ISO 125. Shot of June snowshoeing, f 13, 1/320, 22mm lens, ISO 125

Great day for coyotes. Saw two, the first near the dam, these shots of the second in the same area as the coyote we saw yesterday, not necessarily the same critter. This guy seemed to be thinner, however saw him catch a little critter which he swallowed with one gulp. Used my Olympus with the 70-300mm lens. All shots at 300mm at f6.3, 1/2000, iso 125.

After yesterday's snow storm which dropped about 8" - 10" snow, we first set out on a snowshoe around our complex. However it was such a beautiful day that we decided to pack a picnic lunch and head over to Bear Creek. On our walk around Bear Lake, saw this coyote, quite far off, in the snow Using my Olympus plus a 135mm Tele-Elmar 1:4/135 at f8 and 1/2500. Coyote quite small in the frame so this image is severely cropped to give a 10x magnification.

Yesterday we were cycling around Bear Lake in balmy spring weather with temperatures around 70 deg f. Today we are back in winter with a 40deg f drop in temperature overnight. This shot of our patio chair with the Summilux 1:1.4/35 at f8, 1/125, Iso 100. As of this evening, we have had about 10" snow. Looking forward to a snowshoe tomorrow.

During our bike ride yesterday, we saw this tumbleweed next to the road. However today it was on the road so we stopped to have a close look at it. What is strange about it is that we cannot figure out where it could have come from as there are no bushes in Bear lake park that resemble anything like it.F9.0 at 1/1250, 70mm and iso 800. The close-up shows that the branches have lots of thorns, f10 at 1/1250, 300mm and Iso 800. The bud shot is a tree next to our unit which really shows that spring is just around the corner. f11 at 1/1250, 300mm and Iso 1000.

What a day. Thought that we would just be doing our civics tests for US citizenship. Did the tests and then followed through with the Naturalization Ceremony straight after so came home as new US citizens.

These images of the riders across the valley were taken with the Olympus E P-2 with the Leica Summicron-M, 1:2/90mm at f5.6 and 1/1000, camera hand held plus IS. The first shot is without cropping, the two followng shots from the same position but with different degrees of cropping to show the lens resolution and how sharp it is-really glad that I got this lens at the estate sale the other day.
