Now that bird is a discovery for me, I had no idea of its existence! Thanks for your kind comment, Bob, sorry I am so elusive on the blogosphere these days but since my husband passed away, things are terribly difficult. Kind regards and enjoy your weekend
That's a great series, Bob. I love the water in the images. Was it naturally 'monochrome' of had you been at work in Photoshop? The way the yellow pops is great.
Thank you for the introduction to the Otis Taylor with Anne Harris clip. I wasn't aware of either of these two, and have now had a look around. I was even more amazed by Otis Taylor's version of Hey Joe accompanied by 11 year old 'Taz'. That young kid is amazing, with a maturity in his playing of someone five times his age!
Extraordinary details of how the water flows over his back--wonderful photos, Bob.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the water is ovr the Shag's back Bob
