Does anyone have a napkin?
Someone needs to wipe their mouth! I grabbed this shot during my visit to Camano Island.

Canon 20D
100-400L IS @400mm
iso 400 f5.6 @ 1/250

This was the first full day that I used my new 100-400 lens. So far, I'm enjoying using it for different situations. This image was taken handheld. I'm pretty happy with the sharpness.

Okay Ryan, I'm depending on you to add a touch of fun to more of my days. Just loving these shots of little critters that you're putting out. Beautifully done too.

I'm diggin it. I like this style of natural shot where the critter is doing something rather than the standard animal portrait.

This fellow is slobering over his meal the way I slober over a steak. Nice catch.

Yeah, that's what i look like when I crack and eat crab with my bare hands! (please! it's cooked). Need lots of napkins like this cutie. Mmmmm, good.

Good shot. Animal behavior sure adds a lot to this image. Usually takes patience to wait and watch. Or were you lucky enough that he was there and stuck around?

Strickly in the right place at the right time for this. He took off shortly after.

Really nice, Ryan, much better than the standard animal portrait.
