Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023

[Dave]

Taken on a mid-morning walk yesterday. I intentionally sought an image that wasn't my usual low key style. I also feel it could be a good image to apply the advice Grant posted about images with vibrant colors, and if that's necessary with this one I'll give it a try.

   

You all have yourselves a great weekend.

[Rich]

Dave, well done! Very vibrant colors!

A beautiful 40 degree day today! Melting some ice off the roads!

Here is a Koi pond from Oklahoma City. Oklahoma. Lots of these in that city.
Thought the lily was about the same color as your rose Dave.

Nice work Dave.
I'm so privileged to have these birds as constant visitors.

Dave, Expert floral as always.
Rich, Lily ponds complete with Koi.... hat can I say?
Peter, Cockatoos?

Leroy was Here,

Almost did not get this shot  [handheld @ 1.6 second exposure]
   

[Man From Ironbark]

Yep, Strangely enough, called Pink Cockatoo.

[Dave]

Thanks guys.

Rich, that photo has it all: lily pads, that floating blossom, and koi. And the colors are nicely accentuated by the black water.

Very nice, MFI. I feel he same about some of my area's birds - it's a blessing to have them as part of my life.

Grant, Leroy (and Casper) must be so much fun to watch and photograph.

[Rich]

Thanks Dave!

Peter, that is really interesting! The way the birds sre sitting reminds me of a carnival game of trying to knock them down by throwing a ball.

Grant, hard to get a sharp photo of an energetic pup! Good action shot!

Getting a February thaw this week. That will take some snow down in preparation of the next storm!
