Very interesting. Appreciate your sharing.
Wow, what a fantastic shot! Now you have me doing research on bird tongues.
Tried this in a simulator at Oceana NAS many years ago. I would not have walked away from either attempted landing and the plane would not have been useable after my attempts. Gave me a whole new level of appreciation for what these pilots do.
Nice photo Mike. Reminds me of the Virginia Creeper around here but I don't get the beautiful blooms.
"Not a lick of toilet paper." Now that is funny and disgusting all at the same time.
Chocolate milk indeed! Almost look surreal. Nice shot but would have loved to have seen the download.
Looks to me like you have a pretty good handle on capturing BIF. Well done.
Wow! 12 pages of comments and still rolling!! Have you gotten enough advice or should I add a bit more?
Take what you find valuable and move on with your own style. Many on this forum truly enjoy your photos and I feel you enjoy taking them. What more is there? I remember a judge at a club photo contest saying about a photo of mine taken in Mexico of two boys sitting on a wall "Too much color". Guess what? Yep, I still like taking photos with lots of color in them.
Great shot of one of my favorite little animals.
Congratulations on your retirement! You have picked a wonderful place to photograph and taken some really nice memories of it.
My kind of place. Would love to photograph it. Very nice image with lots to discover within.
