Is it just me, or is the hawk eyeing the finch in the pic below it.

I've been checking out all the photos in this thread, and it's pretty obvious when you do that, that you've already learned a lot. That's great. 
I particularly like the following shots:
The hummingbird sitting on its branch in one of the first pic series: It almost look like a natural piece of art - cool shot.
The Veteran's Memorial series - the man sitting and pondering by the walls with all the names. You can read almost anything into his sitting there, which makes that pic cool in my eyes.
The Desert Bird of Paradise flower shot: Those are some amazing colours that I really love - cool flower pic!
The moon shot with the moon on the bright blue sky: Love that you can see the mountains on the moon, really neat!
And then there's the last pic in the very first series of bird shots: That's a great bird shot, sharp as a knife, and cool looking. I really love that one.
Thanks for sharing, it's a lot of cool pics you've been shooting.
Cheers,
Maria.

Thank you very much Maria for the complement, I am glad you enjoyed the photographs. Everyone on this sight has given me great encouragement and information to improve my shots. I have so much to learn, in something that is so enjoyable. Cheers

Some shots taken the last few days. I was going to try and get that prop-blur, but they were moving to fast to take my eyes off them. All these shots were taken with the 75-300 canon lens, auto focus no IS, full auto.
The Police chopper I have to check and see who it belongs too. The orange flowers are Honeysuckles, the white plums are from my Yucca Plant. The plane just happened to fly over when I was trimming a tree. Had to really run to get that shot.

Nice shots, especially the flowers...awesome colors!
If you want to see that C-17 Globemaster a little closer, look in the Redding Airshow 2009 thread...it was here over the weekend!

AH, GG, you are making me jealous, I haven't been to a air show in so long, I'm going Stir crazy. Thanks Aaron, I wish some other type of aircraft would fly over so I can get some verity. We use to get the Blimp, some Sea Stallions, Cobras and Huey's but haven't had any in quite awhile. I hope to go to the Chino "Planes of Fame" museum next week, they have a F4F I want to get some pictures of for a skin I'm making.

Nicely done. If you haven't been to Planes of Fame, you are in for a treat. If you have, you know what a drool fest that place can be.

I've never been to the museum, just the Air Show. Really looking forward to it. Dave I could not find the Redding Thread, where is it ?

I have a question, I have some dust on the viewfinder, inside. I tried to blow it out with the rocket blower, but it's stubborn. Should I try cleaning it with a lens paper, or just live with it, until I take it in for cleaning?

ontos, do you have lens cleaning swaps in your cleaning kit? (look like Q-Tips)
