It was so nice yesterday evening I couldn't not take the camera out. When I got home from work the sun was out with some clouds still around. It was just about golden hour when I walked out of the house to head to the little pond. The clouds had rolled in and covered the entire sky. At that point I figured, oh well I wasn't going to see much anyway. I walked the path through the wood and came out to the pond and I see this big guy. When I started working my way around the pond to try to get closer, he flies almost right to me. Had to turn the ISO up a little and fought with the shutter speed, but I like the result. I hope others enjoy too.
