Hope everyone is doing well. I look in now and then and really enjoy seeing all of the wonderful images which just keep getting better and better.

I don't get out nearly as much as I used to, but it still feels great when I do. These are my favorites from some recent outings. Thanks for looking at what I still love to do.

Drop-dead gorgeous Kirk, each and every one of them! You've masterfully captured some wonderful moments--an absolute treat to see the stop-action of these beautiful birds. Glad you can still make a little time from time to time to get out and do your thing!

Thanks for posting.
