Well, your resourcefulness certainly paid off. #s 4 and 5 are my faves. Nice work on all of them though.

You Canadians certainly are industrious! Those are some fine shots Don and you must be really chuffed at the results. I love these low level images but unlike Kirk, I am not really thrilled with having thousands of ants crawling all over me.
So call me when you are next having a garage sale...I suspect you have a wonderful collection of hardly used stuff

Eric
Thanks Eric. I am pleased and I'm enjoying just tinkering with my set-up. Next season I'll be refining again, I am sure.
What do you need. With the strong American $ you can get my stuff at a fraction of the cost!!

Thanks. It takes a special effort to keep coming up with images to match the quality shown here.

Wonderful images Don. My favorite of the set is #2. My question is . . . how do you avoid making ripples yourself? And maybe you could post a photo of your blind. I like to make a lot of my own stuff too - http://www.carolinawildphoto.com/ToolsIndex.htm . Sounds like you came up with the solution using those ropes. Now that's thinking.

Fred
Thanks Fred. Once I'm tied off there is little movement and no ripples. Glad you got to look back and see my floater blind. What started as a simple idea evolved and became very complex.

I will trade you some Wood Ducks for Hooded Mergansers. Although I did see a First Year Male (Hoodie) the other day, but no opportunity to take any good photos.

It seems like friends up north get more Hoodies, where as here in the south (Southern Minnesota), more Wood Ducks.
