    You said to Blair you were lucky. I don’t know, you seem to get quite a few lucky shots.I think there’s more to it. I think there is something very magical behind the lens. You sure know how to get spectacular wildlife shots. Just beautiful Vickie. :-)))

  • Vickie Emms replied

    thank you VERY much Pam. Wildlife photography is of course my favorite and I must say in all my travels I have been very lucky to capture the beauty of our animals and birds. Now to bring them out to show you is another thing. I hoard my photos, then get tired of what I have in the present and look in my archives for something like this guy I happened upon today. Many thanks for your confidence in me.
