p.1 #1 · American Avocet Juveniles


Haven't been doing much photography this year, but had the itch last week so I went out Saturday afternoon to scratch it.

Ended up at my favorite pond on a beautiful afternoon, and had a great time with a couple of American Avocet Juvies who were both very cooperative.

D500 ~ 200-500 f/5.6 ~ Processed in PSCC

All C&C are greatly encouraged and most appreciated. Thanks for looking at what I still love to do.

Kirk

No need to watermark these beauties, your signature is all over them. Glad to see you got out and about as it's good for the soul.

Your not going to get much critique on these. They are gorgeous just the way they are.
Love your low angle perspectives and that light makes these all eye candy.

Many thanks for your very gracious words Eric. Started doing Archery with my oldest son (who is quite good) which has proven to be an effective distraction, and a great blessing spending more time together and learning from him. But yes... being back at my favorite pond was wonderful group therapy, and definitely good for the soul. Hope all is well with you my friend.

Thanks so much Dave. Definitely not as easy as my younger days... but laying on my stomach for a couple of hours with ants crawling all over me is still worth it.

Hey there yourself buddy. Other things keeping me busy lately (see my response to Eric above) which has been very needful. Had the urge to get out shooting about two months ago, went to the pond hoping to find some newly hatched Avocet/Stilt chicks... but the pond was dry and very few birds to be seen in the other ponds. But this latest itch got me to try again and the conditions were just what I hoped for with these two Avocet Juvies. I loved every minute of it... even the ants. Thanks so much for the very gracious and encouraging words my friend... hope all is well with you.
