    Thumbs up My wife shoots and Scores!

    We went down to the river this morning with our cameras to see if there was anything worth photographing. I let my wife take the point so she would have first shot at any wildlife we saw. Here is what she came up with:

    That first pic is so beautiful (though all are nice)! Tell her thank you, and thank you for sharing that!

    Very nice shots! And while all are great, that first one is a real beauty.

    My wife told me to say Thank You to all of you! Your wonderful compliments gave her a lot of confidence and fueled the fire to go out and take some more photos. She Really Didn't Want to go to work this morning....she wanted to go back out and take photos!

    I had to print out a bunch of 4" X 6" photos for her so that she could take them to work with her to show the gals at the store what she did. Time to go buy another color cartridge and more photo paper!

    These little guys are super hard to grab a photo of! They are always on the move, bobbing, flapping their wings and running ahead of you:



    plus they blend into their back ground pretty darned good!
