Note: Consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc).

The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: https://www.photo.net/forums/topic/398109-guidelines-for-nikon-forum-wednesday-image-threadsFor now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit.

The resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is a colorful bird that lives in the highlands in Mexica and Central America. The male has a very long tail.

Finally we got some frisky winter weather around -13 C to -9 C for a few days. Unfortunately weather forecasts couldn't predict clouds very well and so I wasn't always there at the right time to get the vivid colors of sunny days. These pics are from Lauttasaari which is an island in Helsinki.

Tomorrow will be independence day for Finland and it's forecast to be snowing, so the pictures will be different.

The Resplendent Quetzal.  In Mayan folk lore,  if the feather of a Resplendent Quetzal falls into your hand you will get your wish.

We have dollars, the Mexicans have pesos. The official currency of Guatemala is the Quatzal.
