WISHING YOU ALL THE VERY BEST FOR 2014 and I do hope that you had a wonderful and fun night.

This pair of rooks were calling the chorus at 05:30h... at 07:00h there was just enough light to photograph them!  Taken with the 'Nik' on auto everything and lens extended 5x optical.

LINKY!!!  Please join in with links to your own bird/flying insect shots.

Well, the final Thursday Challenge of 2013 is BRIGHT. Having already done one a couple of weeks ago (confusion at YAM's end - but what's new?) I now need to find another...

How about vibrant colours over bright waters?  As the last Thursday of the month is also YAM's 'crazy' day, I have fiddled around with the exposure and contrast on this one... not that much in the end because it was really vibrant anyway.  

In fact, if I hadn't said anything, I might have gotten away with this...  &*>

Taken with the 'Nik' on beach mode (because the sun was really glaring that day!!)
