Getting on in age, 63 but still young and having a good life. Vietnam Veteran who still has a few issues but under control. Play Tennis and enjoy Kayaking with my wife. Do some Art,from time to time but currently my love of Birds has taken over. Also have 5 Grandkids who I see from time to time. I thought I should add a litle more info. I have had a love of Birds for most of my life but only recently( 18 MONTHS ) began to Photograph them. Looking at other Sites, I have alot to learn and am envious of many of you out there around the World. Will keep at it until I no longer can get out there.

I don't believe in too much Photo manipulation other than cropping and maybe lightening or darkening an image.

My hope is one Day to be able to look back at this period of my life and be pleased with what I achieved.

Well, 1 year has passed and I'm still trying. It gets harder as I manage to add to my collection. Most of the Birds I am after now are many ks from where I live so alot of travel is required and time doesn't allow for nearly as much as I require so I am mostly trying for better shots of the Birds I already have.

I decided to add a little more since I have now been at it for 3 Years and have purchased New Cameras and seen many more Birds etc.
