This was taken with a Nikon D70, just off of I-70, west of Denver, at the Chief Hosa exit.

It has lost some color and resolution down-converting from the original 6-MB to 117-kB.

Oh my God, that's amazing. Wow. The oranges!

Incredible! The Goddess showing off again.

Those are mostly pine cones. It's too cold here for oranges.

This was also taken with a Nikon D70. Unfortunately, I don't have the EXIF information, so I don't know what the settings were.

I think that the bird is a Broadtail hummingbird.

Excellent.

HungLikeJesus · 03-20-2007, 09:18 AM

Thanks.

I just noticed that the hummingbird is getting nothing but air.

HungLikeJesus · 03-20-2007, 10:02 AM

We don't see this particular fox around anymore, which is too bad because he was good at posing for photos.

HungLikeJesus · 05-09-2007, 07:06 PM

This is one of those real nature shots, one you might see in National Geographic, predator and prey, a fox, sniffing a rat. As you can see, the rat was very nervous, but it turned out ok.

Test of photo hosting site Fotki.com

larger size.

skysidhe · 06-18-2007, 10:35 PM

oh my gosh the pictures are SO beautiful! Love that horizon shot, the fox and the hummingbird. btw is that your feeder?

I have a nector question if you don't mind. I'll pm.

skysidhe -- Thanks. That last picture is just a test of a photo hosting site so that I don't take up too much of the Cellar server space. If you click the "Larger size" text, a new window will open with a bigger view.

If you look closely at the feeder in post #5, you'll see that it's acting as a lense, inverting a few of the Ponderosa Pine trees.

Feel free to send a PM.

I can't connect via the sunflower

Would like to see some more of Colorado though, having seen your woody abode!

HungLikeJesus · 06-19-2007, 02:23 PM

SG -- you're right. It worked last night, but the resolution changed between the first time I looked at it and the second time, so that might have been a temporary storage area.

Or maybe Fotki is really just a Russian phishing site, and they're stealing my pictures.

Hagar · 06-19-2007, 04:14 PM

Wow. We've got foxes here, but I've never seen a live one. They'd never sit still for you like that .

Cool pics.
