Thank you. I was featured once in Animal Kingdom with birds so I am hoping lightning strikes twice.
Lori Peters in reply to Michael Oubridge’s comment, 5 months ago
I really have to show some constraint or all my pictures would be foxes. This smew would make a tasty dinner for one of my foxes. Thanks for the comment.

Ok, I’m not always trying to be funny, but I hope this thing is called a “smew” or something. :) I love how you you got the reflection even though it was clearly “smewving on” pretty fast. ok. that was me trying to be funny. :)

ok, everyone that thinks that was waaaay too corny…....maybe i need to lay off the mtn. dew! It makes it easier to flip through all your awesome shots though!

Lori Peters in reply to Jeff J.’s comment, 5 months ago

Question? Was this bird swimming sideways?
Lori Peters in reply to Sarah McKoy’s comment, 5 months ago
No , but he was swimming at an angle that makes it look like that. it’s funny you noticed that.

Thank you so much. I thought he was very rare. His mate is a pretty redhead. In the animal kingdom, the male is usually the most colorful.
