Found a new place to haunt

Was looking for photo ops when a cyclist asked if I was intrested in a nature shot, then proceded to show me this Popup Linkturtle. A few seconds after taking that lone shot, it took off.  Spent a few more minutes waiting for it to return and snaped a few frames of Popup Linkdragonflying when I heard a splash and caught a Popup Linkbluejay eating lunch.

For the challenge:

When Popup Linkleaves of three, leave them be, least you get stung Popup Linkby these. (Yes, I know it isn't poison ivy.)

Popup LinkMy pain level.

    No offense, quack, but none of the critter shots are any good......unless my monitor has suddenly gone wacko.......all of those shots are blurred....... Leaves of three is a good shot; great dof in by these and Lol @ your hammer! Great board!

    KayN hit the nail on the head (pun intended) regarding the lack of sharpness. You're gonna give that E-500 a bad name, if you're not careful. ;-)
