- go out in the midday sun. :o) ... I took this photograph on the 12th May at 3:19pm precisely when the British Isles was enjoying an early heatwave, & temperatures were in the mid 20s. This upload is for my mt8 TC from Fareham .. yeah I know I've been off-line for awhile but night shifts, & 12hr work days leave little time for R&R .. Watch this space I've got some chick uploads to follow .. oh the joys of spring. :o)

Only it's making me hungry.

OK Joe Cocker...nice shot. They look so proud with their chests sticking out like that. I have been wondering where you have been. 12 hour days, huh? I hate when that happens. Eight is enough. Anyway...I like your picture. The one on the left is either sleeping standing up, or has a bum eye.

Okay, Mad Dog...nice to see you not working your tail off! Loved the link and the introduction to Noel Coward..a name well known, but the clip new to me!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

This is a lovely capture and just gave it 10/10 in the VB. I am a sucker for ducks and geese. I love how close you got to them in what is a perfect composition! Well done!

What a content looking couple. Great colour and composition.
Now, what's the low-down on these chicks you're going to show us? I assume you mean baby birds?

Those ducks look pretty calm and sane compared to you and Mr. Coward. Hopefully you didn't stay out in the midday sun too long Phlossie. Good photo.
