Hi Plamen,

Absolutely stupendous! Two superb images - vibrant, dynamic and strikingly beautiful. Have you decided which wall you're putting these on yet?

Well done indeed...

P&K

(Frankly, we wouldn't know where to even begin to make such wonders).

Thanks! I tried to shoot some water drops even though I don't have a macro lens yet.

The final fall color photos for the year and some birds I picked up along the way.

A silhouetted pine tree in front of Beaver Pond in New Hampshire.

The Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire also provides a nice, colorful drive. In this photo I was able to frame the setting moon over the road

I took this photo of Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook, New Hampshire at dusk with a 20 sec exposure, which gave smooth water but still captured some nice color

A couple more long exposure waterfall photos: Upper Screw Auger Falls in Grafton, Maine and the Lower Huntington Cascade in Dixville, New Hampshire

A common loon on First Connecticut Lake in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. This is a very cropped shot that I was able to get with the loon fairly far out on the water. I was not expecting loons (it is a busy picnic area and a very large lake) but initially this bird surfaced 20 feet in from of me as I just got there. I wasn't ready with my R7 and RF100-400 lens so I had to settle for a longer range photo once it dove and resurfaced

I captured this black-capped chickadee in our backyard, finally past the esthetically difficult molting period where every day is a bad hair day

• Canon EOS R5
• RF800mm F11 IS STM
• 800.0 mm
• ƒ/11
• 1/1250 sec

Finally a blue jay portrait taken using the R7 and RF800 mm lens at an effective 1280 mm. I'm still amazed how well this combination works

Hi Don,

A truly wonderful set of images, each well composed shot holding a treasure of interest for the viewer.

The colours are achingly beautiful (and wow, those waterfalls!), (and those birds!) - very nice!

A great way to start our Monday morning - thank you for sharing...

Hi David,

One of those 'special moments' when you really hope no-one has a camera pointed at you...
