    Hi Trish,

    What a great day!

    I appreciated the opportunity of meeting with all of you on that fine day. Hopefully we can all get together in the future!

    Your heron "chick" capture is wonderful! But my wife keeps telling me to "mouse" back up to your adorable puppies. She's saying, "awwwwwwwwwwww...wwwwwww!" I think she likes Mango & Kiwi! They are very adorable! nod.gif

    Take care, and thanks for a wonderful day!:D
    Regards,
    Kirwin

    Tri colored Heron baby not so pretty (Tri colored Heron wise) image is great clap.gif
    Egrets in general seem to be big show offs, good for us photog types :D

    Thanks for sharing

    Hey Trish,

    Excellent shots but I think the chick is a tri-colored heron. Anyhow the shots are marvelous. clap.gif

    Congrats on your new puppies. They are adorable. We can use them when we shoot in the wetlands. They will attract every hungry egret and heron in the place. naughty.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    They are great for attacting, and distracting, alligators, but it gets expensive in the replacement costs.

    They are adorable, the "signs" seem to be coming together that I should pay more attention to my "dogs", my first and best subjects, certainly most loyal.

    Love your doggies, as Harry says...........

    Hi kevin,
    Uhoh...hope you too will not have new puppies soon...Laughing.gif they are even cuter in person. I spend a lot of time with them..trying to get them trained ..has cut into my photo time...but that ok for now. Hopefully during the week I will have many more shots to post.
    And it was a great day!!
    I was pretty disappointed with many of my shots...until i realized I had about 200 more that I had not looked at!

    Your twins are adorable! I love their names. What kind of dogs are they? Enough about puppies. Your shots from the rookery are great. I enjoyed meeting you on Thursday. Look forward to seeing more shots from the Bird Farm (Whoops, Alligator Farm).
