Muskrat... Shot with SX-50 at 50X zoom from a kayak.

Not bad at all, did you have the SX-50 in a water resistant bag?

I spent a couple hours at a nearby lake & pond yesterday. I found tons of turtles and geese, but these were some of my favorite shots.

A little something I happened to catch yesterday. Was watching a pair of Bullock's Orioles in a tree when a flash of blue caught my eye from the rocks next to them. Managed to get five shots of the fight and the fall, just no time to shift focus points before it was too late. Still waiting for some herp types to get back to me on the ID.

I fount this dizzy bumblebee at my back window. Totally exhausted from trying to fly trough the glass. I could just pick him up and place him on a sheet of paper for the white background.

Hi Sporgon, looks like my Guy just ate your Guy.

Really awesome shot eml58! Something I really want to see in person someday(and not at a zoo).

Thanks ERHP, it's quite something to watch these Guys take down a Thompson's Gazelle at 100kph, this particular Image was the Mother of 3 young Cubs, about 18 months Old, the Cubs are too Young to participate yet in the take down, but they sit up & watch Mum do her thing, learning from Mum all the time.

In this Image Mum feeds first, then sits & keeps watch while the Cubs eat, Hyenas & Lions are the Cheetahs biggest problem, the Cheetah is quite small & light and will give up the Kill easily if threatened by either.

I guess this qualifies as an animal shot. Polistes flavus wasp standing on water. These wasps are native to the southwest U.S. and have the unique ability to stand on water without breaking the surface tension.

Taken with a 5Diii, 180 f3.5L Macro Lens, ISO 320, aperture preferred setting, f6.3 @ 1/800
