Nature Photography
« on: August 22, 2013, 10:59:23 PM »
I've received many remarkable nature photographs over the years but this photo of a nesting Falcon is perhaps the most remarkable Nature shot that I've ever seen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Nature is truly breath-taking!

Shhhh!  We don't want to disturb it!






















Nearly there...

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

When I was 3 years old I put my Dads falcon in the river at Warialda while he was in the butchers, that taught him to leave mischievous me alone in a car  :eek
