That would be a nice feature. It would've saved me from crawling around on the boat ramp and ground getting all wet/muddy trying to take pics of those birds, LOL. Good thing we took the truck and not my baby or I'd have had to strip before getting leaving.

Those are great scenic pictures. I really like them, especially the bass. I'm glad Spring is here.

I hope you don't mind if I post a quick picture. It's of a bass I caught last summer.



Excuse the extremely ugly face I'm making! lol

That pic was is downtown London Ontario. The background show the old court house (and the "new one" too).



Its actually just at the end of my street - I live near the river forks. Not that anyone would or should know anything about London Ontario. Its called the Forest City. It is. For scenic and nature shots its a pretty good place to live (at least in Ontario)

Here some more shots from the backyard or down at the river:

To add, here are some pictures I took last summer in MN to go along with my bass picture.

Camera: Canon SD1000









A bear we saw outside of the lodge.

Nice bass Rick
There are some 15+ pounders in Choke Canyon, but obviously we didn't catch any of those. The last one was small but had beautiful markings so I took a pic for reference material (I have a small one to get painted for our state show in June).

Love the Canada Goose, Junior.

Feel free to post more pics, I love to see them.

I certainly have a lot of geese pictures, but no bear pics. Couldn't get in there for some close ups?
