    Wow! It feels like deja vu. I saw a kingfisher dive a few days ago. Beautiful!

      They're such beautiful birds aren't they? I'm lucky to see(or hear) at least one a day here!

    Neat! Such a dynamic painting. I like the way he's part of the environment and acting within it, instead of just sitting on top of it. My animals are usually standing like statues. Maybe I will branch out into action shots (one day!)
