You are so right Suz. There are many people here that boosts eachother when they have a chance. It is a very friendly community, and a great place to develop photographing skills and knowledge.
Thank you Teresa (dinner indeed :), Adarsha, Wild things, Mr Tom adn Marirs for your fine comments :)
very nice!
Great series and congrats on a nice SOTD!
Beautiful series!
Congratulations Tina! U amuse us through ur amazing spottings :)
Dinner!!! lol
Very true, Tiz ... it's important to take an interest in each other's work, say a kind word when you can, help if you're able. Like you do! If people post photos and nobody ever says anything ... well, it's just like putting them in the folders.
Thank you so very much for the likes and the recent fantastic comments on this spotting. The words written here makes such a difference for the self-confidence and the passion to carry on learning about photography.
It makes me smile that all of us here actually are sharing our photos of wildlife. Imagine all those friends out there, that loves nature but just let the photos taken stay in folders on the computer. A lot of spottings of the day are just waiting to be discovered!!! :)
Schenker, Dan, Kate, Sunny, rams4d, Bhagya and Beaker... You are great!

Congratulations on another great shot Tiz.
Superb shots Tiz. What a face... one NOT to dream about. Congratulations.
Oh thanks sooo much! This is a special day for me, the first day back in Sweden. I just left Africa and the amazing biodiversity behind me, so now I guess I will only find some brown, boring moths in the near future... :P
Thank you for the great honor to Yasser and the PN team. Happy to represent us with this photo today!
