Five soldiers floating to the ground. The green is a stark contrast to the blue sky and the clouds between them. I was using my 70-300mm lens for most of these photos. I thought about going to my 18-70mm but i wanted to be able to get in really close when they were coming out of the C130 aircraft.

I was out at an Aspen tree in our cutting some limbs and i saw this little dude on the trunk. I ran inside to get my camera and shoot some photos of him. I love the color scheme that he has going.

Mountain Bike Ride
I went and meet a new group to ride with last night. The trails were located in Edwardsville Il and we got in a 10.3 mile ride. There were 6 of us on the ride including the lease owner of the trail system. Most of the trails were like Lake View 1-3 in Pocahontas State Park in Virginia that I rode many times. The group affiliated with the trail system is called 
I made some great contacts and got some numbers to call if I want to try to get a ride going. More later and pics to follow.

I walked up to the soldier and asked him if he would mind me getting a photo and he said, " It would be my pleasure." I took the photo and then i shook his hand and thanked him for the photo op.

I attended this today and took over 480 photos! I used my Quantaray LD af 70-300mm lens and i took most in "Action Program"
Please feel free to go and look at them. I only posted 46 of the photos. What i did post is a complete action set of the troops jumping out of the aircraft, a C130.
What is your opinion?

Sitting 1.1
She was sitting on the second landing and i got her attention. She looked at me and i was able to get a great shot of her. I live the sun in her face and the contrast between he and the carpet. She really is a fun cat to take pictures of.
Exposure: 0.077 sec (1/13)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 75 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Sitting 1.2
She was sitting in the big picture window that we have on the second landing of the stairs in our home. I love the contrasting color of her with the glass and sunlight that is present in the window. I was able to get multiple shots in B/W using the 70-300mm lens and hood. Some were with flash, this was not.
