Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.
"The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging and other things slip away."  (Harrison Ford)

The Tuesday Tease























It's that fifty words or less challenge again!  What did the Metal Crane say to the drake's girlfriend? "Come here sweet-feathers and let me show you the shady side of life!"

Monday's Critters




















Time for a squirrel-fix!  Am glad I took a batch of these over two or three different visits - for now the fence has been denuded of all the greenery, therefore wildlife too.  Taken with the 'Nik' on auto and 5x optical zoom.
