Dining In The Muck

Hi again, with birds!  Saturday I got to visit again the great Hagerman Wildlife Refuge http://www.friendsofhagerman.com/Home
and spent 2 hours just driving and walking about trying to get some photos.  Since its winter there are not many things to shoot except , what else...birds!  I got a nice assortment of birds that I will be sharing with you.  These are not Mallards but this pair kept close enough to the edge of the water to get some nice wakes behind as they paddled along the shore.

High Noon

One of my little birdies from last summer. She was a character and I remember her well.  Doesn't her expression just say it all!
I used two textures in this, one called Scripted and one called All That done at different settings and masks, I added my haiku and my frame which I darkened. Hope you enjoy it!
