Lovely photo, so cute.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

I was sitting on the dock at a local lake today, watching this coot dive for seaweed. I typically don't photograph coots, but I figured I'd see if I could get a cool splash shot. This one was in the middle of a short burst. The payload was not visible in any other shot.
Hmmmm.......

The old "let loose the Coots of War" ploy, eh? Nice capture
