All from the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas, spring of 2026

This week went from an R5 to an R5 Mk II. Might be one of my best hummingbird shots ever taken, and the camera settings are not even dialed in.

This image was shot on Coca-Cola road, outside of Jacksboro, Texas in mid-May 2026

The two flower pictures were taken on Coca Cola Rd. Off of 380 near the turn off to Jacksboro Highway, in the middle of May, 2026. Wild Flowers on the side of the road.

The cow landscape scene was taken outside of Oran, Texas, in the same time frame.

Some more shots taken last week around Palo Pinto and Wise County, Texas.

Some of the shots I took this week in Wise County and Palo Pinto County, Tejas...

Bolivar Peninsula, High Island, Texas. Pinning to get back down there....

Taken April 2023 near Paradise, Texas. A few miles from our Two...

Had to add a new tag to my Lightroom today, Road Runner. 14,347 bird shots, and I just took my first Road Runner.

This was taken at the extreme zoom of my Canon RF 100-500, handheld in my yard. It's extremely cropped, but I am starting with a large R5 file.

I have a 1.4 extender I am going to work with to fill the frame more with less crop, next, but it's got to be on a tripod. That sounds easy enough, but it took me 2 weeks to finally have my camera handheld ready when he was in the yard, now a camera on a tripod? This is a Road Runner, if you are not ready with a camera when you see it, it Road Run's away fast trying to get the camera!!!

They say that wildlife photography is 90% waiting. I will figure it out.
