    I love them all!! How beautiful and what fun shots, Carver! Love the ones in flight and landing! They're such fun to watch! I've been doing that down at the harbor, but haven't been able to get any in flight! These are superb! And I LOVE your new header shot! Spring is here!!! Have a wonderful week!

    I've found that kids chasing ducks means I don't have to chase the kids and may get a much need rest while they ware themselves out LOL
