The SFW photo thread

[Scrumhalf]

Post up photos of scenery, family, pets, etc.

Beast, take note! This is a SFW thread, so none of your semi-nude workout girls! I can't open your photo thread when I am at work! :D

I got a new lens - 500mm F4. Cost a pretty penny but it gives me National Geographic quality photos like these - a Cooper's Hawk at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge this morning.

SFW pics taken with any camera, or do you guys prefer actual legit ones from a nice camera?

[BEAST]

Hate taking pictures with my cellphone. I'd rather shoot with a camera any day any time.

I agree, however I don't carry my camera every where I go

Here is one I took a while back. There are few other vantage points that I have shamefully not visited in years. Need to get up there, especially at sunset to get some nice shots.

I'm going to get some wine country and lake Tahoe pics up here soon. since I have to take it easy and back off from the gym a bit and the doc told me it will be good for me to do cardio and get my heart rate up and blood pumping again I might as well take advantage of it and get out into nature. they wont be pro pics like you guys do but the nexus 5x does pretty good pics for a phone so I'll try to get some good ones up.

scrum did you take any pics when you were oversees recently? post them.

Did a 6 mile hike yesterday with the family in Forest Park. Beautiful day, a bit warm but we managed! Nothing like a walk in the woods to completely relax a person.
