SaganagaJoe: "What did it take to get that shot? Patience? A good lens? Both? I would love to get into more bird photography. "
It was with my D500 and a Nikon 18-300 lens. Taken on Little John Lake in early June last year. It is hard when you are solo as you have to paddle, drift and get a few shots paddle some more. This pair kept going back and forth and it is a fine line between getting to close and spooking them and not getting close enough. Then having them swim in front of some nice contrasting background. Like most good shots, there are 50 or more you throw away. Goldeyes can be hard to not blow out the whites, Here is the last shot in the sequence, not as sharp nor did I get it framed right.

Ausable: "There have been so many wonderful pictures here this month that I have been at a loss about what I wanted to share. Finally, to return briefly to the opening theme, a rock from a campsite on This Man in Quetico:
"
....and what a share! Love the texture and color in this one.

"
The one on the left is especially nice...
Mind if I use it as a reference for a painting?"
That would be an "Honor!" I took that one at Custer S.P. in South Dakota. THe other is in Yellowstone. Here's another I like from Custer, momma, poppa, and baby:

LOVE those close-ups of those beaches, I never have thought of shooting that! Here's some matching photos of the "Bigger" view:

These are from the lunar eclipse of 20 January 2019. The first is of the Moon in the phase leading to the full eclipse, and the second is of the full eclipse. My wife told me that the outside temperature was 11 F. I made sure to put the camera and lens in a bag before I brought them inside. My glasses and tripod frosted immediately.

this little guy has been hanging around our birdbath all winter. we also have a mourning dove. i know it's not unusual as long as there is a food source. but where do they sleep and how do they keep warm? so much activity of deer and birds today! the snowstorm as started so hopefully they have all found a snug place to hunker down

ozarkpaddler: "hobbydog: " Trying to hide....good thing I wasn't the big bad wolf. "
OK, hobbydog, my last January photo is another hidden animal....the big bad bear:
"
Was it a big bear or a cub that momma hid?
I saw something stick its head up out of the hay field as I drove by, then disappear. By the time stopped and got across the ditch I couldn't find it. I was thinking it was a fawn. Then I saw a little movement. To my surprise it was a calf elk. He let me walk right up to him. When the shutter went off he was up and running with his ears on backwards.
