Climbing up a rocky slope, I bumped into this critter.

She decided I was too close, and took off.

When I got to the top of the slope, I noticed she'd moved down to the water.

Hey, dummy. You've got feathers caught in your bill.

I guess she didn't appreciate my sense of humor (story of my life...)

I like that first one. The foliage gives a nice frame to the image.

Hey Troy,

Thanks a bunch, man. It's funny, but I always look at your shots the same way. "Damn, how does that guy get 'em so sharp?" Guys like you, Harry, Dallas, and a few other folks set the benchmark around here.

Here's to good shooting and dgrinning in 2007, old buddy. http://www.jacara.com/beerchug.gif
