I thought I'd try something different on my last trip to California so one morning I took a walk along a bike path south of the Glendale Bridge in Los Angeles. I walked the path about a mile and a half and then went down to the river and walked back to see what I could find.

Great variety and images Garry. Only one shows the concrete bank I was expecting. 1, 3 and 5 are my picks.

Masterful set, Gary.

I like your compositions and really impressive stop-action poses. You make the L.A. River critters shine!

It looks like a worthwhile trip, Gary.

Excellent series, but number three really stands out to me.

Thanks everyone for taking a moment to comment. This was a totally different environment than what I'm accustomed to living in a small, eastern, rural town. Traffic whizzing by 200 yards away. Homeless encampments. 95 degree heat. But it seems to be a little oasis for the birds.

Gary - nice, varied set. I was definitely curious when you paired 'river' with 'Los Angeles' in the same sentence. Black-caps are tack sharp, but really loving the direction lighting and black background on the first four....definitely adds some mode to those!

Can't argue with that. I have to admit I did spend some time looking over my shoulder
