Francis Beidler Forest, Harleyville, SC

When looking for some birds but I took the wrong lens...so I took mostly pictures of the forest.  There was not a lot of bird activity.  The birds liked the tops of the trees so my 250mm lens just was not enough.

The day was beautiful upper 60's and clear could not have asked for a better day to take the 1.75 mile boardwalk thru the swamp.

November 5 months and LIFE is GOOD

It will be 5 months of the retired life the end of November.  The transition was a lot easier than I thought it would be.  I believe it was a large part to my pre-planning.  I had started looking at the retired life when someone (Kris Brown) pointed out to me that "Most People Know What They are Retiring From" and have no thought on where they are retiring to.

I have been slow lately on taking any new pictures...

Here are a couple of pictures I took with my new 150-500MM Sigma lens.

 

 

I did get to take a few pictures and brother-in-laws birthday party.

A shot of the Golf Course next to the Campground

This is a shot one evening from my site overlooking a small lake

I had seen a Kingfisher diving in the lake close to my site several times.  I spend several afternoons out reading with camera in hand waiting on the Kingfisher.  I had seen this Osprey several times but he was always high and never close to the lake.  I patiently waiting on the Kingfisher when here comes the Osprey.  Canon T3i with Sigma 250MM lens at about 100 yards.

These closer shots were cropped and enlarged.
