Chris- Terrific scenics. Terrific grebe courting shots.
A few pond weeds is a lot easier than paying for a big old diamond ring

.
The 1.4 and the crops make the images a bit soft- but IMO it works very well here. Beautiful images of a couple of strange-looking birds.
Since moving to Holland, you probably don't get to climb very many local snow-covered mountains

.
Charlie

Thank you Charlie. Glad you like the grebe images.
No mountain climbs around here but for some strange reason I get around very easy on my bike.

Even though a couple of the images are soft, the Grebe sequence is a joy to see. Such interesting behavior you got to witness. Congrats!

I love the first mountain landscape image. The lone figure backed by the immense landscape is powerful. Great shot!

Jim

Thank you Jim. On the way down we met the lone figure. It was a guy who was climbing up on his skis.
