We have a lake in the area. Very little access unless you live on the lake, which I don't. There is a small section by the "dam" . It is amazing the variety that you can see from time to time.
I have wanted to capture an osprey with a fish for over 10 years ! While these are not the best , they sure were fun. A first as well as a bucket list . I did not see him catch the fish . So that is still on the list
Thank you for looking. I hope you enjoy seeing a bit of the slice of heaven I now call home.

Very nice Roberta. Loads of photo opportunities there for sure. I’ve been stuck in my backyard lately… I’m gonna have to get near some water and see what’s out there. You have found a great aquatic environment from the looks of things.

A spectacularly varied and beautiful set Birdie, right up there at your usual standard.
I love how the first dragonfly pattern on the wings looks like its carrying a payload of bombs under its wings, heh.
The bokeh around the duck is great, the kingfishers are always fun, and the heron as graceful looking as ever.
Keep emptying that bucket list, the osprey looks cool and I just know you will nail one catching that fish someday too!

Thanks Eric! Now that you mention that about the dragon fly , it does look like that 😀

Thanks Terry ! I , too , have been in the garden as I love the little critters as well. Hope you get near some water soon.
Fantastic imagery Birdie, your subjects really stand out nicely with your artistic touches of processing!
Congrats on your osprey with fish images, yay
When I got to the dragonfly I thought I was going to see a fish under it
These are soothing to m eyes, great presentation
