I always try to choose my favorite shot! it gets more difficut, as your shots get better and better - if that's possible - since they start out at BEST
the pelicans are awesome - so is the blue heron with the crab! It is as if I am at Ding, or wherever, seeing them for myself!!! thanx always for sharing them!
