One of the first things I really learned doing a 365 last year was ABC (Always Bring Camera !) - no regrets. Maple Syrup time - the best time - usually early March when the temps are just right.

Yes, a beautiful day in so many ways, and lots of two-legged company ;-) Thank you for your regular visits and comments and I'll send some sunny bisous to drive that fog away !<br /><br />Thank you very much joey; we haven't had much luck shelling there - I think because they're all picked before we arrive !<br /><br />Thank you Ruth - I can't curb my photographic enthusiasm at places like this, sometimes much to the chagrin of my companions ;-) And as for encouragement, I feel it's the least I can do.

This is also one of my favourite lenses (actually, every lens I own is a favourite ;-) It cost me an entire year's worth of refereeing, but it was so worth it. I also got a 2x extender so the lens can actually be a 140-400mm. And Sanibel is a beautiful place. Enjoy the rest of the week - hopefully it's a little warmer there.<br /><br />Thank you Cindy - I have a few other shots of this little guy just strutting through the crowd, muttering 'excuse me, excuse me'.<br /><br />Ha ha, thanks Carolyn (actually I have a number of shots of the complete bird but these were my favourites); I was about 4 feet from him when I made these 2 photos.<br /><br />I thought they were very interesting too Julia !Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-44409877367360439552011-02-10T06:42:35.392-05:002011-02-10T06:42:35.392-05:00What an incredible experience.I would fill up a me...What an incredible experience.I would fill up a memory card so quickly,if I were there.Thanks for blessing me with your kind comments.<br /> RuthRuth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-32967696918742469632011-02-10T02:54:48.934-05:002011-02-10T02:54:48.934-05:00Great egret shots, Rick.
