  4. Preciosas las imágenes y, como dice Nancy Chan, casi le puedo contar las plumas. Tienen una nitidez apabullante.

  6. Dearest Noushka,
    Oh, how I love that special green on their heads and wings; you did show us that in fabulous photos!
    Thanks for your kind words. Yes, both of us are fine and today Pieter had a good report about his Angina Pectoris. Last week they did a Nuclear stress test and today an Echo and he does NOT need any surgery. Well, it was scary as he got a quadruple bypass early September of 2010. Guess this was mainly from the emotions and stress around my Mom's passing and mainly because of a few very toxic family members. Pieter suffered because he did see how I got hurt by it. Let's hope we will have several years left together for exploring nature and enjoying things together!
    Hugs and blessings to you,
    Mariette

  7. There is nothing more beautiful than a duck, I think, whether in flight or on water.

    And, I never have seen them more beautifully portrayed than in your photographs, Noushka.

  12. I enjoyed your males teals preening, Noushka! The third photo from the top is breathtaking! The colors and textures are lovely, but even better is the striking composition. Have a happy Thursday! XOXOX!

  13. ¡Qué colores más bonitos tiene! Veo que la reserva está cerca de Burdeos, una zona que quiero visitar algún día. Me apunto el nombre.

  14. These are very pretty drakes when seen in good light, and you've captured them superbly, Noushka. I was trying to photograph some Teal yesterday, but they were too far away for worthwhile results.

    Best wishes - - - Richard

  18. Superbe ! J'adore la finesse des gris de son plumage ! Le gros plan est un recadrage je présume ? Ça pique le 500 ! ;-) Cdlt, M.
