Today we visited the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel. This young cormorant was standing on a rock, drying his wings, and seemed to be posing for the cameras, turning this way and that to make sure everyone got a good shot. I tried to be almost as fast as the cameras and capture him in a few strokes. My first effort is at the top and no. 4 at the bottom. I will replace these images with scans later, I didn't get very consistent lighting with the camera/photoshop.Sally Dean for given my blog the Sunshine Award. Thank you, Sally!

ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbi so much! It's so nice to be part of your list of artists.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bobbi for including me in the Sunshine award. I am flattered and honored to be on your list of artists.
ReplyDeleteFlorida birds are great fun to watch. I took some pictures of birds myself when I was there in March and they make me smile. Check out Mary Anne Cary's (on DPIAG) pelican pastel painting and pictures of Florida birds. You'll enjoy them!
