A nice portrait of this bird of whom I have some pictures too; he has a very sad look but I am not sure if this is natural to the species! 

Another lovely capture of the tiny bird, well done.

Salut Laurent.  I like the clouds reaching down to the land and the splash of sun on the snow.  Pretty, but chilly scene!  Gillie

A companionable scene that can be seen  anywhere where  youngsters have the opportunity to get together and chew the fat!  Clever idea to park the bikes upside down = I wonder if they learned that from experience!  Black and white works well for candid shots such as this.  Well seen.

A happy shot Joao!  I ghave enjoyed looking at your Carnival pictures, such energy and colour.

Thank you all kindly;  I love the look on the pelican's faces too!  You're right Alf;  never was $100 better spent than on the day I bought my treasured little nifty fifty.  Gillie

Lovely reflection.

Happy shot!

Excellent capture, great detail throughout the spider.

Amazing;  I don't remember ever seeing a baby hummingbird, let alone managing to photograph one.

Nice shot of the Gallinule;  the colors are perfect, a pity those huge feet are hidden!

With those long legs, the passenger can make a quick dismount if necessary!  Fun picture :)

That should read '50s;  I wish i knew how to edit my mistakes!

I am trying for an old album look, like the photographs my father used

to take in the '59s with his Ensign. I think he would have enjoyed

today's digital cameras.

Thank you all for your kind words, and for taking the time to leave them :)

Amongst my favorite instruments; what beautiful music they must all make.

Thanks Tony. 

Hi Gail;  I see what you mean!  Dungeness , Kent in the UK, is a photographers dream, if you like decaying textures and stark scenes.

Thank you both for your comments.  I do have versions of this picture in both color and  b/w, but I was trying for something a little more unconventional and this effect pleased me on the day :/   I do thank you for the suggestion and will go back to the drawing board and bear your remarks in mind.  Gillie

Thank you all; I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time!
