I don't know. Do I say "WOW" ,do I say "Fantastic" or do I just shut up and admire the shot? Either way, 20 bucks says this will your favorite shot for December.
Wow! Thank you, Pete! It's always been awesome working with Pearl and this shoot with her was no exception.

If you like that shot, and I'm thinking you do, stay tuned: I have a few "irons in the fire" right now, processing-wise, but I'll be posting an entire, "Pearl Returns" thread in coming days.

Pearl is a GEM! (bad pun intended) I think I have loved every shot you've posted of her. Natural model with a photog that knows how to draw out the emotion.

Thank you, sir!

And yeah, I have to keep myself from busting out the puns most anytime I see Pearl. I'm sure she's heard them all, though. The shot you see dated 06 December is one I've had rolling around in my brain for months but I like shoots with Pearl to be as organic as possible and this one was no exception. Even so, I wasn't leaving without working that particular idea. I'm a little shocked at how well it panned out in all honesty. But that's working with Pearl... She really is flat out amazing.

whats the wildlife like (birds) around here Paul?
I'm not one to shoot a lot of birds so I did some poking around for you and found the following site; all the birds shown have been tagged with, "Lake Wohlford"... San Diego Bird Spot. Looking at this page I remember having seen many of these birds, I just didn't know what they were. :D

Other big lakes within a stones throw would be Lake Jennings, Lake Hodges and Dixon Lake if you want to research them.

Birding is something I could definitely get into if I needed yet another hobby I wouldn't have enough time for.
