Hey everybody! I havent posted any shots in some time, but I have been lurking quietly and admiring the wonderful photos here everyday.

Friday was my last day of graduate school :barband as such I now have tons more time to shoot and post (at least for the next few months).

    Sweet! I guess this means I'll have to post my shots too. That Coyote must have been blind. If it wasn't for our shutters firing he would have never realized we were there.

    Can't tell you how much I miss Bolsa! There are lots of places around here I haven't checked out yet though so that should be fun.

    Thanks Maestro! I'm pretty crappy on the IDs, but at least at the time I thought it was a red shouldered.

    And thanks for the congrats as well! Medical school seems much more fun now that I can it is over:D:ivar
