Indeed, you are Carlos.
All the pictures are beautiful. I miss the woods. We moved into SB a couple of years ago and it just, well, sucks. I can't wait until we move back out in the boonies; hopefully it won't be too much longer. Keep the pics coming, its nice to see such peace. BTW- the family is lovely, too.
Adorable kids! What a nice thing, as Maeve said...what peace.
Nice pics. I am up at the river, (near your old stomping grounds, and thought I'd try to snap the eagle nest. Had some luck--(see slipsofpaper blog.
Have fun with your new toy. My camera isn't nearly as nice, still, it does well on telephoto, don't you think?
