A bit of an outtake from the maternity shoot. He trained his dog to jump into his arms on command. Clearly, they both get great joy out of this bond.

@Rx4 Photo.....Very nice.....but I can't figure out where you were standing? (helicopter comes to mind)

A helicopter sounds exciting Gitzo, but I actually shot these from the Royal Caribbean "Oasis of the Seas" while on a little cruise. Will share a few more in the coming days. My D800 is still in the Nikon shop in Melville, New York =(( so now I'm happy I didn't sell the D7000.

Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas in the distance.

@ Dredden.......Your comments on Pippi's anole lizard.......you have to train them! I had one for about 5 years once; got it so tame it lived in the curtain over the sink; thing was so smart, when got the flyswatter and headed for the back door, the lizard would jump a foot from the curtain onto me, then I would go oput on the back porch and swat flies; every one I swatted, the lizard wold quickly eat! after maybe 20 flies, he was ready to go back to his curtain; I kept a small mirror in the window sill, and he'd spend half the day doing what Pippi's is doing. Once you feed them a few times, they get tame very quickly.

@Coastalconn- Impressive! I think he is sizing you up. That might be the same hawk I contracted to "borrow" your Tammy!

@bland- the composition and light is perfect. Great shot!

@Witty_Nickname- Nice shot! I love light rails.

@Greybagel- The guy looks like the cartoon character Hal Stewart in the movie Megamind.

@SquamishPhoto- I love this shot.

@Gitzo- Me and my son catch these guys all the time. Did not know you could train them! I'll have to give it a try.

Kilimanjaro Airport, November 2011. It was a pity that it was overcast that day.

D5000+Tamron 18-250 @ 250mm, f6.3, 1/500, ISO 800, handheld.

Gitzo · April 2013

@ Coastalconn.......we have a lot of those guys around here, but I've never been able to get that close to one!

@ Mick G......That's the ONE, man! I LIKE that one!

@ Rx4 Photo......Thats beautiful; that place sure draws the cruise ships. Lol....it never occurred to me your shot yesterday was taken from a ship! It looked too close.

@ Dredden; ......Just put them in a smal screen wire cage and keep feeding them flies and small soft bugs; most will get tame pretty quickly. Wow! just as I was clicking this to send, your big yellow flower popped up and shoved this text box down! Super macro, BTW...must be some African exotic......never saw one like it before.
What a gorgeous bloom.....

Dredden85 · April 2013

@Gitzo- I am not too sure what kind of flower this is. The airport there is nicely landscaped as you depart your plane. That Tamron had a nice minimal focal distance. I should have had the camera on vibrant. This was standard, no tweeking!

So nice to see other parts of the world.

Full landing configuration, speedbreaks still up, flaps down, gear down 3 greens.

Dredden85 · April 2013

@Ton- Wow! Another great capture! I just need the glass that you and Coastalconn have than maybe I can keep up with you guys! ^:)^

Msmoto · April 2013

You guys shooting those birds...fantastic....I am now "challenged" to see if I can do this, or even come close to the magnificent images posted.

So, for today, a "painting"

@Squamish:Just an amazing image.
