"over 50 degrees F outside and yet there is still a bit of snow at the beach."

"that is supposed to be Sony DSC HX1"

"This sony dschx1 is a super zoom - bit more then a point and shoot but not a dslr by any means. That said, I really do like this camera in spite of the limitations I have come across from time to time. It is small and easy to tote around without having to carry extra lens. with a max zoom of 560 mm ( 20x optical) I find it to be a great camera for what I like to photograph best."

"intricate. Well seen."

"New world colours. great"

"another good detailed macro."

"Sometimes thousands of flying waders at the coast turn in winter sun forming such a pattern."

"Detailed macro. it must be a dedicated macro lens used."

"Thank you Kevin. Very rare to see them around here - only pass through during migration usually bypassing us entirely."

"In Europe called Great Northern Diver. Nice shot"

"this is a Common Loon. a beautiful creature with haunting calls. This one is passing through our area and heading to the northern lakes."

"Prachtig... Nog nooit zo'n vogel gezien. Wat voor soort is het???"

"nicely backlit...."

"very nice !"
