<p>Jeff S--excellent shot! Love the look on that fellow's face...wonder what he was thinking about? :-)<br>

Thanks!<br>

Paul</p>

<p>I had a nice outing with plenty of birds. It was a cold but sunny day between snow storms. This pair of Hooded Mergansers were among many on this part of the lake.</p><div></div>

<p>At a butterfly conservatory. Canon 50D and EF-S 55-250mm IS II lens.</p>

<p>Only Canon shots this week are those in preparation for a Classic Manual Cameras post.</p><div></div>

<p>There is no real winter weather in the Netherlands yet, it's more like an prolonged autumn.<br>

I picked this flower on my balcony and took it inside.</p>

<div></div>

<p>From early summer....when it was warm!</p><div></div>

<p>I can't let Lupo have the only food pic. 7D with Sigma 17-50 ISO 200 f/8 1/200 with 580 EX bounced off the ceiling.</p><div></div>

<p>I haven't posted much either Lupo. That is a bagel with mozzarella cheese on top with a Turkey burger under all that. The toasted cheese on the bagel is such a great added flavor. It has a Wasabi mayonnaise and a Creole mustard on it too. A combination of a lot of flavors. </p>
