Just a fantastic series of images Ted! So vibrant! So sharp..texture and feather/fur detail is exquisite! Not so sure any of the "wildlife" magazines can equal your fine photography here!

Who needs an expensive safari?? Head to Ted's...Heh that rhymes!!

....Grab a chair, beverage of choice(Nifty Fiftys burger, fries and shake) camera and take photos!

Wowser's Ted! What a terrific assortment of wildlife and all beautifully done!

Your back yard reminds me of that scene in Snow White when all the critters come out to see her, heh. You don't have her living back there to attract them do you? ;-)
