What I think is cool is that the last one was taken with my pocket P&S Leica. :)

See!? I'm learning (from you a select few others)... it's 'round-about... 20% equipment and 80% knowing how to make the MOST of it!
A P&S?
There's hope for me yet!
Kudos, as always :)

Look carefully at my signature line and you'll notice it listed next to my Nikon. :)

Wow, Bob, those are gorgeous! When I grow up I want to be just like you! Seriously.. those are beautiful captures! Very nice.
There's something I'd like to know... how'd you put your signature on your photos? Probably a silly question that I should know the answer to but I don't. :)

No, it's a good question. I signed a piece of paper, scanned the paper in as a graphic, opened it in Photoshop and finally turned it into a brush. Now I can stamp it at any size, color or opacity.

Thank you! I live about 5 miles from this Portland, OR Zoo. I have a full membership that lets me walk in at no charge for the next year. I retired in July so I can go 7 days a week at any time. It's a nice advantage because I know the zoo so well and what kind of weather conditions bring out the cats.
