A few shots today

Managed to snap a few creatures with my macro lens today. Bit windy for it but got a few at least.

And here's a picture my wife took with my camera. Not bad considering she had no idea how to use it! (I didn't want to point out to her that she's focused on the mossy log and not the deer)

nice macro work, something I haven't tried yet.

I went for the 150mm Sigma lens. Allows you keep a distance show the creatures don't get as spooked.

I love the mossy log.

Bit more zoom may have helped..

She did very well, I like to think I'm a good teacher too

Just wish I had the time to get out more and do this kind of photgraphy.

Totally unrelated to wildlife, here's a shot of a wedding I did not so long ago.
