Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Marilynne]

By the looks of things, it will be a week before I can sit down again.

Next time, it'll be worse, so watch out!!

i like the background. Clear sky is nice but it can get boring. This is out of focus enough to make the bird stand out.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Don. These were the best of the bunch. Some of the others you couldn't see the stork even with the out of focus background.

Marilynne, I have to say that you truly amaze me not only with the variety of subjects you see but the GREAT captures you get. I think you have seen more different subjects in a two or three week period than I have seen in a lifetime. Keep up the fine work you are doing, I am very envious

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Jeff for the really kind words. I amaze myself also. Wait until you see the shots I got today at our private photo workshop at Wako. 15 people and an instructor for two hours and closed to the public.

I keep telling you to move here or at least come visit. We have an extra bike you can use.

Does it have a motor on it? That would be VERY important and some what of a necessity.

Foot power Jeff, foot power.

Excellent gallery Marilynne. One of the best that I've seen.

Thanks Glenn. I think I've come a long way since July 2012 with lots of help from my fellow Nikonites.

Not some of my best, shooting towards the sun, lost most of the blue sky

Now you see why I had to post these. The hawk managed to get away untouched.
