Hi Y'all,

On a recent post about the young deer I told you I was walking through the wetlands because they were closed to cars. Anyhow besides that deer ...........

the black bellied whistling ducks were active

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!"

    Excellent series Harry. I will be heading down to Florida in Oct and hope to capture the black bellied whistling ducks never seem to come in close enough the times I have been down there.

    Kingfishers are excellent! I can never get close - these are perfect!

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Thanks Ben and when you get out of the "Steel Cage" you sweat a lot. :whew My normal policy is that unless I'm getting paid I'm not sweating.

    Thanks Dennis, the BBWDs are rather shy. Unless they are tied down by ducklings they usually won't let you get too close. I was fortunate to catch them as they were flying past me.

    Wow...second duck, Second kingfisher, and the butterfly are just fantastic! The others are good, but those three are something else. Nicely done.

    Thanks Z, I lucked out with those two. They were so busy with each other they didn't notice me until it was too late.
