Last Practice

(July 18th) Today was my last day that I could photograph before heading to Alberta. I need all the practice I can kept so that I'll be as sharp as possible there. I headed again to Furstenberg Park - the place was becoming like home to me in the mornings and evenings. Right near the parking lot I ran into an American Goldfinch in great light. Surprisingly enough the male even tolerated my presence at a reasonable distance.



As I was walking the trails, I heard a real surprise. At around 7am there was the sound of a low-flying propeller plane. When I looked up there were 4 planes getting some formation practice for an air show, and they were flying nearly straight at me! I had a few second to take some shots before they flew past.
