To my friends here....I want to comment on these fine recently posted shots, but have been informed by Otis that I am boycotting this thread. I don't know why or what for....or how long it will last or what can end it.....I just got a note that said "You are boycotting the K5IIS thread until further notice......you can make one post but only to inform your friends of your absence."

It went on to say "if you violate, you can expect to lose most of your hiney.....like this renegade that thought he could disregard an Otis command."


Hope to see you guys soon, I'll try to negotiate a release but Otis is a tough negotiator.

Regards!

Otis pm-ed me : "No peanuts for the little blind orphans, no posts ! That's all ! "

Seconding FS's comment: great shots!
Thank you both. Two more shots from Stavanger. In the second one the smoke was actually coming from a fire, but I couldn't see the flames from my angle.

I'm back! It was all about the weather...look at this forecast for the next few days. Otis said he is planning a Pool Party on Sunday and would lift the boycott if I provide 10 kegs of Malted Ale. At great expense, I agreed to get back here with you guys!



Love the bokeh birdie Hattifnatt! The smoke could be coming from Otis' old rubber tire burning? He does it every winter to create Global Warming and it looks like it is working around here!

Fantastic shots FS..so was the last set. Let's catch you up..



Regards & Good to be back here!

Very nice catch! What kind of birdies are those? Male and female?

I have been remodeling my shop for two+ weeks so have barely touched my cameras. Yesterday morning I picked up the K5IIs and shot a couple just to keep in practice.

Yep, another damn dove!


Luckily, Otis came along to pose, because he knows you guys want photos of handsome squirrels, not worthless birds.



Just so you guys will know....if you have any shots where you are feeding handsome squirrels or little blind orphan squirrels, you can get one of his newest Otis Awards.......so get some peanuts or other gourmet feed and start feeding them!

Who wouldn't want to be a "Citizen Squirrel"?

Regards!

Glad to see you busted out of that joint, Rupert; I was worried about you.


This little guy was checking on you for me.

I appreciate your concern.....Otis can be so cruel at times.

Otis appreciates that, he is so damn handsome that no one ever gets tired of viewing him....so he says?
