I love the tree in the first one. Some really wicked branches and roots. Lovely. The second and third ones are cool, I always love the birds.
Is that your son? They both are very handsome. I'm telling you, your grandsons eyes are gonna melt some heart when he grows up (already stole mine). So sweet!
Really looks like it was a wonderful visit.

What a lovely set of captures Michelle. The first one is a stunning photograph and the frame makes it even better. Those birds do look funny and a great find to capture them. I notice too that you found some duck that weren't turbo charged. lol they are lovely though. And what a lovely father and son portrait to finish. James and Lucas look lovely together. Lovelly work as always Michelle.

Jake.

Thanks Michelle, apart from getting sick we had a lovely time away, I got to spend a lot of time with my grandchildren and Tony got to do a lot of fishing with his son. James is our son, only boy, with four sisters.

Thankyou Jake, the ducks on the coast are a whole lot slower,haha. Those birds are really quite big and they did look so funny perched up on the rail. I tried taking a photo of one individually but exposed for the white feathers not the black heads which is a pity because they are so ugly they are cute.

They are bristle necked Ibis, and are becoming quite a nuisance in public areas going through bins and eating scraps.
I promise I did not get my son up for that photo and thankyou for your kind remarks.

Thankyou FoG, you have it all wrong, my son was sitting on the end of my bed at 7.ooam in the morning because his son woke him up at 6.00am in the morning and he thought it was time we were awake. It wasn't a posed shot he was just sitting there talking.

Nice set of photos. The first one looks so serene. Great father-son shot, very handsome young men

[Sheriliz]

Your photos make me feel like I was there. I really enjoyed seeing them. That baby is so cute, I love the shy and "I am a good boy" look you captured.. His dad is a handsome young man. The birds made me smile. My absolute favorite is the 1st, it just makes me want to step in and go for a quite walk.

Michele, I love your first one. It looks like something that should be on a card or a brochure. I also think the picture ofJames and Lucas is outstanding. They look quite good at 7AM! In enjoyed the others as well, interesting set.
