I thank you my lady and best wishes to you and yours as well. Blessed we are to share the earth with such beauty and character.

Definitely a lot of movement to follow but surprisingly peaceful as the feeder birds have been nice & messy leading to enough food for all

Thank you!

Thank you and let me think about your proposal as it’s not something I have considered previously.

Thank you Joe and hope you get a mating pair. We have been blessed with several including a loyal pair that nests right outside our kitchen window in a burning bush so we get to see the chicks fledge.

Significant cropping, ok understatement, to isolate the male Wood Duck. With Topaz Photo AI subject begins to take on elements of a painting. More experienced may groan but still makes me smile.

As a private pilot thought it would be fun to post some of the phases of flight.

Had a couple types & liked them other than the weight & not being collapsable. Was Fong though as tried to be cute when a photographer at our academy meeting had one and I commented he had his “Fong on” & he predictably misheard me. Searched the web & apparently back in production. garyfong.com
