    Oh, by the way, Wasabi nailed it, Egyptian geese they are. Apparently some knucklehead thought we needed them in Florida. At least they're pretty, unlike the damned Muscovy ducks that we are overrun with.

    I love shadows and this seemed like a good idea this afternoon - but now I fancy a mcvities hobnob biscuit and they are all gone ....

    some lovely patterns when they all fly off but taken with my acer tablet , so no burst mode



    these pesky pigeons kept gate crashing the tea party



    anyone else take photos with shadows ?

    In the Laos jungle or in Omani parks? It was just a park next to a bus/taxi stop near the airport. Has a cafe, nice clean toilets, a mosque at one end. Just a gardens for anybody who fancied a stroll; and Terry thinks Lumpini park is nice - supposedly the 'nicest' park in Bangkok is rather more modest than a bus stop recreation park in Muscat...

    I was kind of tempted, but it might of killed that old timer, we were there to negotiate land access to drill exploration holes. That might of hindered things, I did drink several shots of Lao khao and might of agreed to marry one of his daughters though

    Blue Springs, near Deland, Florida. My son and I spent some of his spring break there. We met a very friendly manatee.

    Heaven on Earth, especially while school is in session. Water is crystal clear (I like to dive down, sink my face into the spring head and drink) and 22 degrees year-round. Full of fish and other wildlife, including manatees and the biggest blue crabs I've ever seen. The river flows from the spring head to a wild stretch of the St. John's River, and you can drift from the spring head about 400 meters to a swimming platform, run up a well-kept boardwalk back to the head, repeat:

    Tarpon and other saltwater fish are also found:

    Daffs and hyacinths are all in full bloom at the moment but the wife got excited about some little yellow flower that appeared in one of last years pots....



    ....dandelions are usually just overlooked.

    Trees are in blossom now as well so time to take the new macro lens for a trial....It arrived yesterday and I am really happy with it...
