Nice set of photos, Don. I especially like the night moon shot.
Boy, I sure can relate to your comment. It has become unavoidably clear to me that I am too old to: [insert a depressingly long list of things here] anymore.
While on the return leg of my early morning walk I happened to spot a large bird flying towards me, and the slow wing-strokes immediately told me it was a Great Blue Heron. Once it passed some trees that were obscuring it from view I fired of half a dozen shots in burst mode, and got lucky that this one was reasonably sharp. The morning cloud cover dampened the normal colors so I amped them up a bit. That, plus a crop & rotate and a little sharpening for posting resulting in this - one of the very few sharp shots I've managed of a bird in flight...
Wishing you all a good weekend.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
