Almost forgot about this picture. Took this picture of our house back in the 90's from across the frozen pond. Best photo I've ever captured the moment with. My muscovies sat right there for me.

Neat pic @davelarson
That free diving pic wasn't too deep, probably about 1 atmosphere (33ft).
Here's a few more spearfishing pics
These were taken with a Olympus underwater camera (only submersible to 6ft). Wish I had a GoPro back then.

Always wanted to go spearfishing! I was deployed several times in the military to places we did quite a few snorkeling trips at.

Gunnertrones, being up in those rock spires in summer is amazing, it must be extra cool being on snow way up there. And I can only imagine the ride down. Here’s a picture of the biggest ponderosa pine I know about. Years ago I decided to climb it to the top. But the branches are too big and far apart so I was smart and got down. Trees are awesome, someday I want to see the redwoods.

This is Maverik. He’s guaranteed to bring a smile and usually knows just the right way to deal with the stress and strain of the real world.
Thanks, as always, Michael, for helping us keep focus on something positive

These first few images are very dear to me. A couple years ago, a family of red foxes lived under the shed, and had little ones. They never let me get close enough to get a good photo, and the lens I was using was terrible. That reminds me that I need to find it and shoot it (the lens)... Anyway, we could see the foxes just about every day from our windows, as they played and spent more and more time outside the shed. The eventually started leaving the shed for the night, and returning in the morning. On early morning, I noticed a single baby fox coming to the shed. Too late to try to photograph it. A couple minutes later, another one came. Thinking that there may be a chance that there is at least one more, I took the camera and went outside, and waited behind the area of the fence that I know they cross to get into our property from the woods. My camera ISO was 12,800, on a camera several years old. These moments of waiting, most often in vain, truly connect me with the beauty of nature, as I notice every noise, every leaf that falls. Usually I quickly give up and return home. This time, however, a baby fox suddenly rounded the corner in the fence and came into view a few feet away from me. The fox froze, looked at me, walked a few feet closer to me, and then ran away. Of course, the autofocus failed to lock and the motor ground away for a few seconds, but I was able to capture several pictures. I have never since came as close to the foxes, and they have since moved out of the shed. In the early morning light, this experience was almost magical.
Here is the best woodpecker I was able to photograph:
Of course, don't forget Benelli the owl (my brother named it):
The lunar eclipse from this year:
A lizard in Puerto Rico:
I have an unhealthy obsession with trying to grow cacao (where chocolate comes from) indoors (also from Puerto Rico):
Finally, another passion of mine is traditional watchmaking. This is the only nice watch I was able to afford, a sub-$100 American pocket watch from 1907. Illinois Watch Company:

Bringing my son to work with me so he can run around while we are under quarantine.
Decided to make my own bacon for the first time.
I’ve been spending more time cooking, so the smoker is seeing more action.
I get to see the sunrise almost every morning, this is just one of the few times I’ve stopped to appreciate it.

Holding my daughter’s hand, who was welcomed into the world a few weeks ago. Someday I’ll goof around with Airguns with her if I am lucky. She is my second girl but equally loved.
Amazing congrats!!

Nice idea Michael! It'll be fun to see what else people are shooting..
[And not just with their airguns]
I won't post for the contest - But I'll still drop some pics every now and then.
When I'm not airgunning, I'm usually doing photography.
Super telephoto all the way down to super macro.
Enjoy:

I can't decide
.. love the outdoors, because it's the antithesis of politics, cities, current events and such, but all of my Bearded Dragons are awesome creatures.Upvote 0
What a great thread this is. The first place I go because it’s going to be peaceful and beautiful. Here’s a few winter pictures. The truck was locked into the snow drift and was hard to dig out. Best snowman ever!

Have you ran your Walther through a chronic? If so, what type of numbers is it putting up and how consistent are they (SD)?

What range are you hammock pictures from? I live in the Plains and need a mountain camping fix again in the worst way!

That’s a very good idea, Michael. I’ve been doing the same thing on FB and people have come back and said, “thank you, I really needed that. “ We really have to get away from all of this division because We are really all in the same boat. I’ll go and see what I can dig up.
