There were many Ring Billed Gulls with nests and babies at the bottom of Bridal Veil Falls - oh what I wouldn't have given to be able to take the good camera down.

  8. Great shot - up close and personal ! You are fortunate to have seen this and then to also have your camera ready to go. That is something I am working on - always be prepared. Happy Wednesday.

  17. You are getting one serious evil eye here! Hope you were shooting this with a long lens... could be dangerous otherwise!

  23. What a great catch...even though you didn't have your better camera. (It IS frustrating, though, when you know you "other" camera could do better.)
