Hallo Joseph

I just love your posting. It is beautiful. A very special moment you have captured here. This is very special and dear to me. The cuteness factor is very high, and is most adorable. I have looked at your portfolio and you can be very, very proud of your handwork. You surely are very talented.
Thanks for sharing.

I am also very exciting today, as one of the photos on the gallery have been dedicated to my granddaughter Maryke. If you wanted to return a visit to my portfolio, please do yourself a favour and have a view of the following. : Maryke's Little Clown I personally think it is stunning, and I think it deserve a big smiley, maybe you can carry over the smiley you might wanted to give me to this Clown Trigger Fish.

Kind regards from a rainy and wet South Africa.
Aaltjie.

What a beautiful moment captured. Such sharp details and such a great expression. You must have been stalking this nest for some time to get this result.

Hi Joseph,
This is fantastic, looks like you and I were thinking of piciformes this month. They are really interesting birds. I bet that you also got the parents as they freqeuntly visit the nest to feed their young. Super job! :)

How high would you say the nest was? I had to climb a tree about 15-20 feet in a neighboring tree to get the last shot I posted of a woodpecker.

What a great scene with the head sticking out of hole. I used to see this often as a child, so this was a pleasant memory. Outstanding colors and perfect sharpness.

Quelle grande scène avec la tête collant hors du trou. J'avais l'habitude de voir ceci souvent en tant qu'enfant, ainsi c'était une mémoire plaisante. Couleurs exceptionnelles et acuité parfaite.

This is classic Joseph.
I think it is the best shot I have seen in this type of bird.I wish to be so lucky one day and find even something similar.
All the colour, focus and details are perfect.
