That's lovely, OldCrow!

Thanks Stina. I feel guilty, others look like they have been working this week.

Joyane, you pack light.

I was hoping that no one would notice their rude behavior.

Oh no, not rude at all. It made me smile from ear to ear!

No cigars under the hats.. I didn't even take those with me..

..and most of the items I packed were being prepared for the washing machine.
But, we did have to pack light .. we were only allowed 44#'s total weight, both carry-on and luggage.
The planes are not the newest.. and they are Russian built.

I'd go skydiving again before I ever got on a Russian built plane...

Well, at least I got to sit in first class

We were 7 hours delayed in flying out of Miami, as there was a pretty fierce storm..:p
That was a hair raising leg of the trip. Good thing the flight is only about 1 hour long


So this week.. after re-installing software, I've been editing photos...

Great shots, Jo. The second is especially lovely.

Over here the rain has stopped and I am back at photographing birds. I'm sorry about that as I can imagine it is boring to others, but the theme is to show what we are doing and this is what I do. It's Spring, almost Summer and all the great birds have migrated here to breed and I go out as often as I can to photograph them. So here is a shot of a Black-tailed Godwit that I shot very early this morning, around dawn. Not much light yet, but he landed just next to me on the path. The shot is uncropped.

Nice one! Godwit = new name to me.

Levina, that's a cool photo of a great-looking bird!

You mentioned "uncropped", nice that you were able to be that close!

Outstanding detail on the Godwit Levina, well done.

PS: Bird photos are never boring

Your bird shots are not boring Levina. Keep them coming!

Great light and feather detail on the Godwit, Levina
No birds are not boring!

Soliciting suggestions for the coming week from anyone who might have an idea....

Those are beautiful pictures, Joayne and Levina.
Your birds are never boring, Levina.
Joayne, that second picture is captivating.

I had a photography field trip yesterday for our 4-H club.
