Title: Today at Col Sam Smith Park

Lots of these were hanging around this morning.  The morning light is definitely better than midday when I usually get time off.  Enjoy

Nice pics Palo!  The Horned Grebe is really morphing into a striking creature.  I gotta get down there and take a few pics myself.

Great shots of the Horned Grebes, I was there today (Saturday) but they were a little too far and my shots came out way too dark, my settings were set for sunny and it had turned cloudy and all hell broke loose in my camera cuz you know, I forget to change settings LOL! I am hoping they will stick around a bit longer so I can get a nicer shot.

Thx Irene!  I went very early in the morning and there were less people and dogs around, so they got closer.  Try again and I'm sure it'll work out... you take wonderful photos.  That stuff with the camera settings... happens to the best of us. ;)  Cheers
