What a collection you have here. I am always fascinated by herons, especially in flight and have never seen a pond heron that I know of but will keep an eye out come spring. That last shot, wow, how long did you have to wait for that and I've been thinking about taking photos of people and how some don't take it so well lately, did any of the artists object and have you encountered extra issues with someone's art in the shot?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the colorful collection of flowers, some of my old favs and plenty of new ones. I'm fascinated by the spoon mum and your treatment of the snapdragons.
I was lucky with the fish shot. It was noon and I was feeling really hungry after having skipped breakfast and it seemed the darter was hungry too. Didn't have to wait long. The artists were quite cooperative. It is always wise to have a chat with them before seeking permission to click.
DeleteYour photos are always entrancing.
