A wonderful close up portrait Kathy! The detail is delightful, you can almost see its tonsils! #1471608

LOL, that is so cool Kathy. What a way to get a shot. the colors alone make for a gorgeous picture, but look at them details and features. Seeing things our eyes can't. Speaking of eyes, that is so neat the way you got this ones.
Sad to hear about the baby, a cruel part of nature.
Beautiful work my friend. #10203046

it seems all animals want food. Today we hung a hummer feeder and within a couple of hours at least 3 hummers were at it! And that's really sad about the little chimp. #10203224

Oh how sad to hear about the baby, Kathy! I once witnessed a goose kill a little gosling and I'll never forget it.
Anyway, this is such a terrific shot with great color and detail! #10203385

Oh how awful about the little chimp, Kathy! I went back to see him since I seem to have missed all those wonderful shots of yours...and now I am doubly sad. But this is a terrific close-up of this gull with his mouth open! Hard to believe you got this from inside the car, my friend! A stellar capture with wonderful color and detail! #10203669
