Debbie and I travel all over the place
looking for birds to photograph. We shouldn't forget our own backyard here in Los Barriles. I shot this Baja endemic Xantus's Hummingbird yesterday.
For a hand-held shot it just makes me feel good looking at it.

Totally agree! Wow....
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Most of us would never see this, if not for your lens. Thank you Oly and Debbie. Keep them coming.
