needed to cheer myself up a little,
so instead of trashing I decided to process and post these.


"TERNED AND TWISTED" (kinda how I been feeling lately)

"OH NO! NOT ANOTHER EGRET" :bash
207136619-O.jpg



"THE GREAT REJECTION" just another butt shot:cry
207430178-O.jpg



"MORE SHADY CHARACTERS"
207136583-O.jpg


"LESS SHADY CHARACTER"
207135929-O.jpg

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
KEEP OR TOSS?

    I'd keep 'em all! nod.gif

    What is this fellow, Russ?

    Very good head on shot...not easy to make look good. (The fence must be the "toss factor" in this shot) Too good for that, though.

    Thanks for sharing and not tossing. Made my morning delightful. Your shots went quite nicely with the morning cup of Java.

    If these are your trashed one, I could only be so fortunate! I love the American Kestrel and tern and twisted shots. The feather spread on your egret is nice as well.

    It's an American Kestrel, the smallest falcon.

    Thanks Steve, this shot of the Kestrel was taken at Bolsa, I haven't seen any at the basin yet. I was hoping to get a close up at the basin but Bolsa delivered it sooner. Let me know what time you going to be there friday, I'll meet you there.

    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!"
