    Oops, I can only see the first one the rest are red x's.

    Love the colors and clarity on that mallard though! Even the water drops on it's face are crisp. thumb.gif

    Yup, red Xs. Are they in a diff gallery? Is the sharing thing turned off?

    LOve the duck. Such vibrant color! And I love the sharpness that you are so good at putting in your photos.

    Chapter one of Marguilis new book says they may have a cast of any of the warm colors in certain situations.

    But That They can NEVER have a blue or green cast.

    Actually, I wish your cast were more pronounced, Thusie. I can't even see it. But then Ch 1 also said that those of us who live in the southeast find things acceptable that others are not apt to, smile. True, very true!!! Or not acceptable, I suspect, also.

    The one thing I think even Marguilis would agree on is that the squirrel is not of the bird family!!!!

    You keep sneaking one in thinking we won't notice. And Harry will make some comment about him being food for the birds, etc.

    They are all wonderful shots! Just super!!!

    Watch those casts, there is a "cast" detector wandering around dGrin!:hide

    Wow they are all great but I love the blue jay! Such svelte, loud, noisy birds, but he looks quite handsome there. Great job!
