Left overs

I have been cleaning up my photos, organizing, and making sure they have all been put in the blog before I move them from my computer to my hard drive. These are the mysterious left over four ten. I'm not quite sure if I have or have not posted them. So, I'm going to err on the safe side and post!

Warm summer days

Does anyone realize, or care, how hard it is to get a bird flying? With manual focus, 105mm f/2.5 P?  I know. And I care. It is hard. And I can't say this was skill. This was sheer luck.

The beach on the fourth of July

More random beach images from around the fourth of July. I'm posting all those that I didn't do at the time. How did that ever happen?

Time for random beach photos...

Because it's cold. Because there is the hugest storm of the century about to occur across most of the United States. Because I have left over beach photos.
