and now she's just showing off

Sorry, had to steal the title... She decided to show off, with Daisy in the yard, by jumping to the feeder. Shutter speed was still a little slow for this shot...
f/5.6 1/1250 ISO 640 @184mm

I figure I'd add a close-up of our contender. She's the daughter of Slappy from last year's photos. She's definitely got her mom's acrobatic talents...

A fruit never falls far from the tree!

Is there a tree out of frame above the feeder? She's making a vertical entrance!

Nice shootin' there, Jeff, it's a wonderful set and that last shot is a real cracker! Excellent job on the sharpness. It's easy to go overboard on it but you got it just right, imo. It has a good balance of sharpness and softness.

Good set, Jeff. I really like the close up.

She's launching off of a fence. I've set my camera to fast-shoot, so I'll try to catch her launching and in mid-air.

Thank you, Kirk! I tried in by best The Wall imitation to yell, "Sit still will ye!" to get her to stop moving around.

Thanks! Yes, they are.

Good set, Jeff. I really like the close up.

Thank you! 600mm sure brings them closer.
