Things are not yet in full bloom, but that will be soon. In the meantime I get to practice with my D70! Comments, critiques are always welcomed!

At the beginning of my walk, I ran into this guy. Mr. RRBB.

The paths are not only just for humans.

    Thanks! thumb.gif

    To answer your question, I'll quote *ahem Darwin: "Ducks, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically predisposed to cross roads."

    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!"

    Thanks Gus... Amazing what you can see happen if you stop to look (at least two bikes whizzed by me as I took this, not even slowing down.) at life. Cheers mate! thumb.gif
