A TESTAMONIAL TO BLUE-GREY. FROM A FELLOW WONDERER
I wonder at your camera, especially when you capture those exquisite close ups, but also that even the long shots of the wildlife I've seen have detail that most cameras can't give.
That may be your talent as a taker of pictures - but I find long shots with the still shutter of my puny vidcam (it fits in my pocket) affords only punctuation to mark the excitement of what I saw.
I don't mind. My messy memory is a superlative camera ready for life's duration to transform images into words and ideas.
Nonetheless your art with the lens is superlative especially when accompanied by your thoughts and the option of sublime music.
Thank you Black Rabbit. You are Hardy's subject:
nnnn
nnnn
"If, when hearing that I have been stilled at last, they stand. at the door,Watching the full-starred heavens that winter sees,Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more,'He was one who had an eye for such mysteries'?"

Great picture. I love the water droplets and the fact you can see it's head under the water (and it's feet). Jane
Cheers Jane!
I do like the "funnel" the duck has created with its head.
(pure fluke I should point out, that it was caught like that by me).
Its a very nice "Jemimah Puddle Duck" also - pure white - the only one like that on our stretch of the Thames.
Hi again, Doug :-)
Wow great capture! That funnel is just fantastic :-D
Thanks Shirl!
