I was looking for birds, of course...............Bill was reading by the marsh/pond where there were two birds, refusing to fly. So I wandered.

He has no idea I took this photo of him resting. I made an e-mail size to send him, smile!

ginger (And it is in color, he is in color, too! remember I usually work photos of him up in black and white, but this is definitely a color photo)

    I like it Ginger,
    He looks so relaxed and content. You did a nice job capturing that.

    Thanks, Chris. I only got off one shot before he changed his position, then he started watching me if I looked at him.

    I am happy I got that.

    I always look fwd to your shots G. For some reason my eyes are drawn to the roadside pebbles straight behind bill. That is a very nice shot.

    Very nice and great color. Tells a story, too.

    The road right definitely is a player in the shot as is. The first thing I did was hold up a piece of paper over the right side to see how it would look cropped almost square. Looked pretty good to me, actually. But you are a queen of cropping, so perhaps the thought already occured to you?
    If not now, when?

    Gosh, I didn't thank anyone. I have been busy!!! I don't know how someone like Harry does it.

    I wish I had a wife. Maybe I would even get a meal!

    Thank you so much.

    Re the road, yes, that is the second shot where I have left the road in, in a week. Both were off to the right, not exactly according to the rules, but I thought and still do think, that the road added something.

    I only put the road into the original photo as I couldn't take it without the road and have it look good (I crop in the camera mostly, meaning to crop more later).

    But, if possible I like to use the whole photo. I even hate to have to take some off in straightening the horizon. It often throws off the balance, I think.
    I don't know why the road works, but it does to me..........

    Thanks so much everyone for stopping and commenting and all. I love reading all the comments.
