Been a while since I have been here or out in the field and I was worried I forgot which end of the lens to look through. Stole two hours yesterday and found a couple of cooperative subjects. Definitely some aspects which can be improved in each image but I am sort of rusty.

Hope all has been well.

"I am sort of rusty"?? Mike, these are great images, and the proof that you are not rusty can be seen in the last two outstanding images.

It's a real pleasure to see your work agean.............

Great set Mike. The Anhinga doesn't know he only eats snails? :)

I want to get rusty Mike if this is the result. Excellent series with the last being my favorite. As Neil Young says, "Rust Never Sleeps!"
