Hey, thanks for joining in the insanity of my site. Your photo is just the giggle I needed this morning. Welcome to the stranger than fiction antics of my life. I love your swingin' photo.....I share go there in my mind today and swing away and feel the breeze because you captured it so beautifully.
colleen, thanks for being 2010. i guess from now on we enter the twilight zone. the star trek years of the future. anyway, thanks for climbing aboard. nikonsniper steve
vera, it made me smile too! i kept moving closer and closer to this little bird. shooting feet! to me it wasn't about the bird. it was seeing up close another time that God paid attention to detail. look at your own hands and smile! He made you unique too. you are the only you and He didn't goof up making you or me. so smile! nikonsniper steve
ethelmaepotter, 4 feet away, i had to back up a bit to get the camera to fire because i was inside the minimum focus distance. why does this happen for me? i think the bird knew i was old by the color of my hair and i moved slowly while speaking to the bird softly. i wanted to give the bird something from my hand but i decided my credit cards would have been a stupid offering. i am not kidding about the bird knowing i was old. they are intelligent and probably recognize that little kids chase them and people with white/gray hair feed them and photograph them. i actually am silly enough to believe deep in my heart that God hands these creatures over to me for a moment to show people a little more of his creative skill. i am always the most moved from the experience. i owned that bird for three minutes and my joy will live a lifetime. nikonsniper steve

That´s a great photo. I like the texture and the light you got. Greetings.

I love the words you chose to describe this beautiful photo!
I love this...and yes, the title is great!
Wow -- I love your photography! I HAVE to get a better camera.
although am not a pro, nature acts in ways we cease to understand.wondeful pic sir!!!
Wow. Intricate photo of an intricate design.
I wish I knew how to take good pictures. Who would have imagined that I could be so mesmerized by bird feet on a dock. It's a great shot.
Could have done with landing gear like these 2 days ago, Black Ice every where, whooops down we go again.
Amen to that Steve, God given indeed! You always seem to be at the right place at the right time!
Love the title of this photo. His or her, 'feet' are so very pink.
Cheers.

Great photo with some humor. Congrats on reaching the 2000 mark!
It's pink. She's a girl!
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Brilliant photo. Very effective!
Your photography is phenomenal, Stephen. Love all the sea and beach scenes. And of course, these "landing gear" are great.
I love the colors and the textures, the slanting horizontal lines move the eye through really well! Very unique view of the subject as well!
For some reason this photo made me smile!
wow, fabulous photos!
enjoy *~*
Now that's funny! Love the title with the image. Great details of those pink legs!
Great capture... LOL
OK, so yes, I really , really like the photo but more importantly, I am the 2010th follower! Yay!
I mean, I saw the number 2009 on the follower listing and I didn't know whether it was the year 2009 or??
So,um, yes, I am now the 2010th follower - and now will singlehanded-ly make all the others wonder,
"Is that the year or the number of followers?"
..OK, maybe one will wonder, then follow and go like, "Oh.OK,..I see.."
Seriously? yeah. Have a great week-end :-)
Wonderful!
And seriously styling landing gear!

Not a pigeon but still a bit pigeon toed.
I have to wonder just how close you actually got?
ethelmaepotter,
