We have company from Massachusetts and today she and I went for a walk.
This is what we saw:
Since we have company, I might be a bit scarce here.
I hope you don’t mind. Just know that I’ll be out taking photos!

Beautiful pictures. I’m sure you are talking about Emily being your company? She must be getting to see a lot of new things. Wonderful pictures. Have a good time with your company
.-= Thom´s last blog ..Sunday Stealing =-.
No, Thom. — Nancy, Amoeba’s SIL is our company. Emily, as I said, is a student in Amoeba’s class — but you get extra points for noticing that they are both from Massachusetts. BTW, Amoeba is, too.
Oh, what a gorgeous Beauty.
I don’t think I’ve seen one like that before.
Have fun and we’ll be patiently waiting to see the beautiful Photos you come up with

Nicole — I wish the shots had been more clear. I think around here I should just permanently put the camera on an action setting!
Gorgeous pictures. You’ve captured it well.
.-= Anthony North´s last blog ..WHERE IS MIND? =-.
Tony — thank you.
Enjoy your company Quilly, we will be here when you return. Take a second though to visit the blog, see if you can guess what Thom is going to Guess Wrong.

It’ll have to be after church, Bill!
Great shot. The red tail rarely looks that red in person. If I’m not here when you get back, I’ll return shortly.
Doug — I said to NAncy, What kind of bird do you think that is? And the bird banked, showing us his tail. We said together, “Redtail.” But I think it’s really reddish-brown!
Beautiful ! can’t remember when I saw a hawk for the last time, must be ages !
.-= Gattina´s last blog .. =-.
Gattina — this was my first time to see one with a camera in my hand.
Interesting that it’s called a Redtailed hawk, we have a similiar bird over here called a Red Kite. Birds of Prey are always impressive though.
.-= Bazza´s last blog ..Intriuging =-.
Bazza, your Kite and our Hawk are of the same family — Accipitridae — but otherwise, they appear to be quite different.
Those are great pictures. I love watching birds in flight.

Dr. John — today I saw Turkey Buzzards!
You’re going to miss all this nature when you go home.
.-= Carletta´s last blog ..Shadow Shot Sunday: Summer Shadows =-.
Carletta — YES!
How lucky you are to get such amazing shots of the red tailed hawk. We live just on the outskirts of a PA State park and we get to see hawks and eagles often. We just never have our camera in hand when they fly over – darn it!
.-= Church Lady´s last blog ..Fun Monday – Sharing Our Patriotism =-.
CL — I rarely go anywhere without my camera. I even take it to church on Sundays! One just never knows!
Isn’t he GORGEOUS! Well… or she! Oh you must have been so excited! They are great pics!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Almost Done. WHAT? =-.
Melli — I was more apprehensive — I couldn’t wait to get home and see how the photos came out!
Yea… that’s always the question! I try not to get too excited until I see them BIG too…
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Almost Done. WHAT? =-.
beautiful pictures! I know how the bird feels now- I went skydiving Friday and will have pictures from it for the next few days.
That explains the flight suit in your sidebar photo!
I’m in awe of that beautiful sky.
.-= Brooke´s last blog ..Camera Critters 66 =-.
Brooke — get over it. Today it is gray and cold and bleak and rainy and I am COLD!
You’re nhaving the time of your life with that camera, aren’t you?
Gorgeous pictures, what a majestic bird, and such a beautiful sky!
