Any camera, photo taken any time by anyone.

I haven't shared these before (to my recollection) (now that's a scary thought!).

A couple from the Fuji s100fs and a few from other brands. EXIF attached.

A pretty little meadowlark:

Beautiful colors and a lovely shot. I was actually chased by one of these little guys at a zoo once where they allowed them to roam free. Maybe he was either angry or camera shy, or attracted to the bright outfit I was wearing that day (or maybe it was breeding season!). Such a gorgeous bird, nonetheless.

And the first photo of the cardinal is also lovely; they are one of my favorite birds. Beautiful red, always a stand-out.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely shots with us. I really enjoyed them.

Beautiful work, Jada. Nice, vibrant color on the 3rd one (Flamingo?).

Meanwhile, here are a few of my first bird shots. Couldn't get close enough with my F100fd, so switched to Nikon D40. This bird has dirt on her beak because she constantly digs into the soil around bushes and plants. Hope someone can identify this Florida bird.

I asked this gal to pose for me and she agreed.

How about a profile shot?

A little more to the right, please.

How about a Portrait shot, if you don't mind?

And now the left side, please.

Here is a larger shot (Sorry! I missed the feet)

A Snowy Egret seeks the advice of the "Wise Old Owl".

Here! Fishy Fishy

Jim, I had toyed with starting a thread, asking of your whereabouts, so I'm so glad that you're back.

Loved the birds you posted. What a fun post. And that egret is so lovely.

... Don't know if I have shown this before. I really don't have much in the way of 'wild life' images though.

This was taken seven years back in NZ. (13th December, 2002)

Cheers.

... I was digging back through my NZ pix and found this one. It's a Kiwi.

Again, taken seven years back.

Really do not remember if this was a live one, or not. Probably not

Cheers.

Yet again more photo's from others that make me question whether it's worth continuing with my photography.....
Some from the fuji's first....

This little house mouse took a liking to our house.....looking in through the patio doors..

I was watching some water fowl when this red fox appeared with one of them...

A huge fly.....!

Sandhill Crane? just a guess from someone that's never been to Florida, in fact only spent a very brief week working in America, so don't take it as fact from me.
Great shots of it by the way and the egret is a classic...

Thanks! Jada. It's nice to be missed.

My wife just retired and we have been vacationing in Florida. And, it is almost impossible to find a secure Wi Fi connection while traveling, so I only looked at my favorite sites. We're now visiting my brother-in-law and can now use his secure connection.

Nice thread so far.

Thanks! Lilanna.

I meant to compliment you on your beautiful Peacock picture. Yours is the best close-up I've seen on the WEB. Good job!

Nice picture of a Kiwi. I haven't seen a still picture of one until now.

Meanwhile, I hope the new improved store is paying dividends for you.

I asked several people but no one was able to identify this bird, until now. If you are mistaken I'm sure someone will comment.

Hope you get a chance to re-visit America. We love (and need) visitors.

Thanks! for your kind Egret comment.

Stick with your photography!!!! Your pictures are interesting and diverse.
