In reply to Sue H. Thank you! I recently got my telephoto lens back from repairs but unfortunately didn't see the Hawks during my visit today.

I LOVE the closeups you are getting with the “new” lens. They are really beautiful shots. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to have both a telephoto and a macro on hand at all times? Of course I also am happy that you usually shoot with telephoto or much of what you have shown us about the hawks would not be possible. Hope the lens is fixed properly soon.

In reply to Beverly Prentice. Thank you! It's fun to get that new perspective from a lens with completely different capabilities from my telephoto.

In reply to Ann. Thanks, Ann! Oh yes, I will still be out there to check on the Hawks whenever I can. I miss my zoom lens but had fun practicing with my other lens (it's been a while since I used it).

Even without the zoom lenses your up close photos are interesting.

Your shots of the bees in the flowers are wondrous to behold….truly magnifique! Delighted you are still on the scene, seeking out our hawks, not an easy task. Best wishes, hoping your new telephoto lens will be in service soon.

In reply to Elizabeth McMahon. Thanks! I used to be deathly afraid of them. In the last few years I've come to realize they don't even care I exist and they are solely focused on their work. It makes it easier to relax and photograph them now. :)

The bees are beautiful, even if I am terribly afraid of them!
