  11. As a non-poet, I will pass on any criticism. But as a nonphotographer, nice pics .. but as one who appreciates humor, great caption on the last one.

    May 24, 2012 at 1:14 pm

  12. Great pics, and I didn’t see any mangling.
    Of course, you’ve seen my poetry and limericks, so I’m probably no tthe best judge…

    May 24, 2012 at 1:03 pm

    • hahahahaha! I can only hope to aspire to your heights of excellence.

      May 24, 2012 at 1:08 pm

  13. That first shot is my fave. The snowy white of the bird, lit from the side, against the green water…Ahhhhhh.
