The resident neighborhood hawk, I'll call it "Red", visited our yard, and a neighboring yard, yesterday. I believe it is a young Red-shouldered Hawk.

This hawk was on the hunt and all the beautiful songbirds went silent. The trees became very quiet.

Red landed in a sunny spot, but later moved to the shade. It was close to dusk by the time it flew away.

I was excited to capture some photographs, and from close proximity.

A bold and beautiful sight to behold!

Andy spotted our neighborhood resident Red-shouldered Hawk this morning. I was extremely lucky that he stayed perched in place long enough for me to grab the camera.

Last week, he perched in our backyard briefly, right on top of the head of St. Francis.😆 I was able to get relatively close and got pictures with my cell phone. A few of those are attached as well.

This year's GTX FILM Festival was a WOW event! We had a full house and it was so much fun!! Here are some of the highlights from this year's festival.

More pictures to follow on the GTX FILM website in coming weeks!

I'm very thankful to fellow photographer, Kamil Rizvi, who took many AMAZING photos which will be shared soon on the GTX Film website and social media pages. Kamil also took a few photos of me, which I love. I will share them in a separate post shortly.
