Love all the recent posts, especially all of Eric's ducks. I got a similar kind of shot today at the park.

I love a laugh - life is generally too serious. No problem either if I'm the source of a laugh - I often laugh at myself and use choice words to describe my own stupidity. I'm a pretty mediocre late blooming photographer but what I have going is simply persistence. So for anyone reading, the secret is the age old saying, never give up and always try your best!

Nice photo, Jack! And a great philosophy to live one's life by.

Good example of how a reflection gives you another perspective.

Thanks to you and others I'm just beginning to see things I never did and to consider things I never would have bothered with. It's like being a kid again.

Funny, the tree was leaning down over the water so that when I inverted it it looked somewhat normal. Almost looked like the magpie was under the water. I'm always shy about showing corny shots, taking people photos etc. but I'm trying to lose the self consciousness.

I'm very pleased that nature threads on CR lack the nastiness that creeps into some of the gear threads on CR and that numbers have grown.

Couple of birds eating fish that I took today. A young female kingfisher eating a tiddler and a little egret eating something bigger. The former at 400mm on the 150-600 and the latter at 600mm, 5DS R. The egret was rather far away.

I really like the first picture. Well done, Alan.
