What a great image. Lots of neat abstract shapes. The action you catch in your shots says so much about the character of the animals you capture. Great job!

I am so envious of your little neck of the woods… or is it marsh? Breathtaking photo!

  Well we do have some woods surrounding the marsh, but we have the beach and ocean on the east side too! 🙂
  Thanks for looking!

  It’s my favorite time to get out there and it’s always a treat when one cooperates and shows up in nice light.

Beautiful shot! Love the golden lighting here…that’s some of the best light.

On a side note, Phil, I just thought I’d let you know there no longer seems to be a way to like your blog posts. I usually go through every few weeks and read all the blogs I follow, and mark the ones I like. I haven’t been able to do that on your blog for a little while now.

  Thanks very much it’s good to hear you liked this spoonie shot!
  
  Odd about the like feature, I’ll try to track down a possible fix for that. Could be just a WP glitch that might end up fixing itself, it’s happened before. Thanks for mentioning it.
