Nature Photography

I was recently able to purchase a new lens 

for my nature photography, a Tamron 150-600 G2!

Here are a few of my favorite shots with this new lens which

I am still learning how to use.

 Blue Darners in a mating wheel photographed at Rancho San Rafael Park.

Vivid Dancer Damselfly from Rancho San Rafael Park.

Blacktailed Jackrabbit in Reno, Nevada.

Immature Turkey Vultures photographed in the field next to where I live.

Golden Eagle in Reno, Nevada.

Red Tailed Hawks in the same field.

American Avocet at Swan Lake in Nevada.

Snowy Egrets photographed at Virginia Lake in Reno, Nevada.

I haven't had this lens for a whole month yet and I'm having a great time with it.

Should have lots of ideas for painting this Winter.  :)

Birds, Birds and more Birds.

Spring has sprung and I haven't been doing any painting lately. (Soon I hope) Bella and I have been doing a lot of walking in the morning and I have lucked into quite a few Hawk pictures. I think I'm getting an even better lens this weekend so they should get even better. 

I thought I would share some of my favorites and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them turn into paintings sometime soon :)
