A bit of this and that: Hope you are not getting tired all these. It is not hard for me to have a first bird like the long-billed dowitcher. I also think the cranes are just so pretty...

I also think the cranes are just so pretty in the morning light, I tend to like many photos.....

Feel free to critique!

You are truely a professional photographer whether you use it to make money or not. You not only have the technical ability to get all you can from your equipment but you also have an exceptional eye for photography. I've never seen anything from you that wasn't outstanding. I don't have time to look at all the photos posted on this site but you are among the few photographers that I do search for and view everything from. Keep up the great work!

I agree with tomad. Always a pleasure to see your shots! The SH Cranes, hippos, elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, Wow, all are magnificent. Don't stop! It is inspiring.

Your words are humbling. Thank you so much and I am so happy you enjoy my posts. I love taking the photos and the experience, but sharing is equally rewarding.
