A million thanks to everybody for looking and all those kind and interesting comments you've written, a pleasure to read!!!

Loved that idea many of you saw about the contrast between the peaceful bird and the fury of the elements I had not thought about it! ;) You see? This is what I love of sharing pictures, the exchange of impressions and thoughts, it's great fun and enriches the vision one has of his/her own pictures!!!

I'm leaving for the weekend, so I'll see you all again on Monday if I don't get another flu while birding!!! :-O Have you all a super weekend!!! :t:
 
I love this Marian! Very unique and an instant fave. I love the pattern of the splashing foam. Excellent!!
