I just can't say enough about your photography - Brilliant!! These are just super, and of course my favorite is the second one with the "stop-action" water drops!!
Oh pretty duck ! What harmony in colors... Purple, ginger, black and white, and golden eye...very beautiful ! For us, in France, he is a "Canard Souchet" Nice Sunday Bob !
Lieber Bob, absolut exqisite Fotos. Besonders das 2. Bild gefällt mir besonders gut. Die Musik ist wieder gut ausgesucht. Einen schönen Sonntagabend wünscht Dir Irmi
Bob, dandy shots! I always wonder how they manage to keep their heads out of the water with such a big bill! Then again, they spend a lot of time with their heads in the water!
Oh these are wonderful Bob. I was going to do some water birds today as well and they somehow got misplaced on blogger...sigh! Did something else instead. We have been seeign some Shovlers around here and they are new to me, quite unique looking birds, beautiful plumage~
What a gorgeous creature, Bob! That little bit of purple on his head is pure magic. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and I wish you a great week ahead.
Great action shot.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that second shot is incredible
ReplyDeleteI thought that you would like it, cheers Keith.
