 Backlit Rain in Strong Sunshine...shutter speed 1/80 sec. f5.6 asa200, facing west. I guess one could calculate the speed of the rain drops, using the above data.  ??????

 Mallard Drake at Miama Whitewater Park.... preening chest feathers in mixed sunlight, sept 2013

 Late October Gobblers Struting......... Have only seen strutting in the spring around here. These guys had about 12 hens and acted like it was spring.

Deformed Antler Growth & Good Antler Growth... 

These bucks were photographed on the same day in Sept. 2013, have not seen the amount of deformity ,as in the top picture . Last march 2013, noticed a buck still with a full set of antlers. Does not shedding the old ones, on time, tend to deform the new set ? Interesting !!!!!!!!!
