Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Dave - 02-04-2023 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. RE: Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Rich - 02-04-2023 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. RE: Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Man From Ironbark - 02-04-2023 Nice work Dave. I'm so privileged to have these birds as constant visitors. RE: Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Adamphotoman - 02-05-2023 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]     RE: Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Man From Ironbark - 02-05-2023 Yep, Strangely enough, called Pink Cockatoo. RE: Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Dave - 02-06-2023 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. RE: Weekender, February 4 & 5, 2023 - Rich - 02-07-2023 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!
