'How many roads must a man walk down?
famously sang Bob Dylan back in the day.

If he walked down the road that leads
to the Axe Estuary, you two, he would
find the answer at once: the juvenile
dipper in this photograph dissolves all
question marks with the sweetest of
solutions. Sweet and lovely.

Wow, this really is a bit special! Very well done S&S.

(Having returned for a second look, I love how the bird seems to have a twinkle in its eye. If I'd taken this, I'd have trouble sleeping tonight |:d|)

Delightful! I wonder if I'll see any dipper families feeding their young at the rapids this year. Hope so! And if so, I'll be humming along ... "Gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside. Gonna lay down my sword and shied, down by the riverside. Study-y-y war no more." Or maybe change the words "Not gonna lay down my telezoom, down by the riverside ... study-y-y birds much more." |=)|
