Hey You all,

I got out and did some shooting for the first time since my surgery and it was great!!!!! The wetlands were very active. I found lots of birds to shoot including a pair of caracaras and an osprey. I even found a night heron and a bittern. I was going great and feeling fine. On my way out I ran into cuteness run amock. I met a pair of black-bellied whistling ducks and their ducklings. I tried to resist but failed miserably, must be the pain medication. ne_nau.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!"

    Good Lord....MAN...what happened to you? You have become very FOWL. rolleyes1.gif

    Glad you are out and about again, Harry. Nice captures. Thanks for sharing. Be careful.....as you may lose all control of those heart strings and could end up shooting pics for Hallmark. 1drink.gif

    Cheers

    I love those bumblebee ducks, Harry.

    Did you toss the Osprey, Night Heron, etc, photos?yelrotflmao.gif

    I spent the day at places like Wal-Mart, came back to Julie's to take photos of my dogs. I think shopping is far more exhausting than shooting, we are dead!

    If cute means that ducklings look like bumble bees I am all for it.

    Genetic code tampering...
    ...is only one possible explanation of the experiments that could have been done to Harry while he was under. Others are Deep Hypnosis, Personality Flip, Artificial Brain Implant or even Senile Sentimental Syndrome.

    Hey Ginger,

    I'm still processing the rest of my shots from today. The other shoots will be popping up soon, I always find shopping more tiring than shooting. rolleyes1.gif

    The last option seems to be the most feasible to me.

    Dragonflies? rolleyes1.gif NEVER!!!!!! A line has to be drawn somewhere.
