I thought it was a Nike. A cross between a swan and a goose. I really like the photo in B/W Jan. Must have been shy. This should do very well in the contest. I actually thought about entering, but now I have second thoughts. This is so great.

Honestly Jan. They announce a new comment and ten seconds later you post the winner. Did you have insider information or something, or are we supposed to believe you just had this one lurking in reserve. What a beauty it is. You deserve to do very well with this.

Okay. So you're in the Heart of a Storm. Everything is perfectly calm, right? But you know that at any minute that calm is going to go away, and everything is going to be in chaos, and the world around you will literally blow you away. I want to be there.
