Happy Thanksgiving

Gallery: AvianPosted November 27, 2014149 views7 comments
The trick is to be thankful throughout the year. Hard sometimes when there's so much turmoil in the world, so much to digest in this 24 hour news cycle. In spite of it all I remain thankful.

So thanks to everyone here at NPN. And a special thanks to Harley Goldman for letting go of his low mileage 5DII at such a great price:smile: He still has some Canon gear for sale over in the NPN Classifieds if your interested.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Beautiful cardinal, Howard (Ohio's state bird, you know!). Excellent perch/pose, light, and bg. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. :toast: :wavey:

Beautiful bird. Wish we had them in my part of the world. Perfect exposure on the reds which is not always easy. A day late, but Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.

Very nice, Howard. Those difficult reds are just about perfect. And a belated Thanksgiving to you, too.
