You don't carry a loaf of bread with your camera and tripod? Oh, that poor bird, waiting, and now, apparently, needing to wait even longer! But he is a good looking guy for you have captured his colors well.

This looks like a fine oil painting Patti. The detail is amazing in this. Now you know you must carry bread the next time- right?.

Not even a few stale breadcrumbs....sheesh, Patti. I thought you'd know better than that!!

I have to agree with foofoo about the great painted look you captured here and yet it is so detailed you can see every feather. As usual...a great job.

You did the mallard joke. I was going to start that off with a post called 'You rang mallard'. But I thought people might not get it.

I don't know how you got so much detail into his plumage in this shot Patti, no doubt the wonderful light had something to do with it but all the same your settings must have been just right. Just fantastic resolution given you must have been at the long end of a zoom lens?

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
