Cabin Fever

[Harryb]

I got to get out and shooting again!!!!!!!! I am so tired of staying home and recuperating. I'm about ready to declare myself healed and go out shooting again.

In the meantime here are a few pre-surgery pics from the wetlands.

The wetlands are right next to a cattle ranch

Good to hear you're doing better after surgery. I think these pictures are beautiful. I like the cattle egrets. The Heron is really great as well. I hope you soon feel better and get out there and share some more of your great work. Take Care!!

Gee Harry, you are full of wonders!

yeah, that recuperating is a total bummer... but just think of all the post processing time you have now :):

Love the cows -- I remember the first time I saw cows in Florida under palm trees, I just found it very amusing, being a "city" girl! After all, cows should be running like mad, kicking up dust on a wild stampede in the middle of the prairie or something -- like dry and dusty -- not snoozing under a palm tree!

You certainly picked a varied place to live. Shuttle launches, tame birds to pose for you, warmer climate, dramatic hurricanes and cattle ranches!

Glad to hear the recovery is going fine! :):

Hey Dee,

Great hearing from ya. :clap I've been ignoring those cows, who surround the wetlands, for over a year so i figured I owed them a couple of shots. :D

I'm just about healed up and may try to do some shooting tomorrow.

Hiya Ann,

I'm not rushing the recovery. I was thinking about going out this morning but decided to wait another day or so. Thanks for the kind offer of those photos to process but being a man who plans ahead I went out and shoot my butt of right before the surgery and I have a nice backlog of my own shots to process during this down period. :D

Thanks, a few folks seem to agree with you about those first two shots.

Hey Jeff,

I really like the detail in the last shot. I thought I would be miserable going back to the D100 but I got some excellent captures with it.

Then all I can say is thank you. :D
