[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
White Storks are tall (1 m., 2.3-4.4 kg) long-necked wading birds with long bare red legs and a straight pointed red bill. The white plumage of the head, neck, and body contrasts with the black wing feathers highlighted with a sheen of purple and green iridescence. The contour feathers of the lower neck and chest are elongated to form a fluffy ruff that can be erected during courtship displays. A small patch of bare black skin surrounds their brown eyes.

Hello Pam,
long time no see, it's great to see you again, I hope you are doing fine.
This is a nice portrait of the white stork with good exposure and
nice natural colours. Good sharpness and DOF, the bird look fine against the blurry BG.
Well done, old friend.

We have a pretty warm summer at the time so I suppose you have winter. :-)
