Hi Linda,
Great capture with very nice colors. "Our" birds are nervous which makes it practically impossible to get a good shot even from a far distance unless, of course, one would have a very good zoom unlike myself.

Perfect bird capture Linda,
I love how nothing is obstructing the view of the bird.
Not easy to do! Great job on the placement of the bird in the frame too. Well done!

Hi Linda
This Big Apple resident appears to have come through the winter in fine shape. You have caught every fine detail of his plump features. If you get a chance you might want to ride up the Hudson Valley it is very scenic even this time of year.

Regards, Tom

Thanks for asking...
This weekend.....
Well I watched the 12 hours of Sebring of the ALMS series.
I watched the Practice & Qualify sessions, plus the Formula One Grand Prix both in French and in English while working on my PC ( LOL !) while it was snowing.......

Next weekend it will be the Malaysian GP. But I will be on duty. So I will need to record everything, and watch it later....

A common bird , but very well captured. Image well composed and I love those tones and narrow depth of field.

Glad you enjoyed your bike ride. It will take afew months before Martine and me will enjoy a ride in the country with one of our cars ..... Too damn difficult these days . And with the snow banks on boath sides, you can't see anything from our cars LOL ! Ever tought to join the Kyle Petty Charity ride (*_^). Martine offered me that ! Imagine I never had abike. We just did scooter rides ! But I like the concept and idea. But the gang is a bit too big in that case....

Cheers!
Robert

Cheers!
