Sometimes it's not really worth it

Sometimes it's not really worth it (Cygnus cygnus, Mareca penelope)

All I could make out through the mist were Whooper Swans and Eurasian Wigeon. What the rest were I've no idea.

Wish I could make such images as good as Ove can!!

Saturday Fun

Gawd... the new pills the doc started me on yesterday seem strong enough to deaden the pain somewhat, but playing havoc with my concentration and memory. I started this upload over an hour ago, fell asleep in the middle of it!

Beautiful atmospheric shot.

Pills, side effects, risks, very above my knowledge. Hope you find the right pills for you to ease your pain and to get back the quality of life you want.

SF - Ove showed one swan. I counted 52 birds in your picture. ;)(y)
