Happy New Year to you all! I have been away for nearly two weeks now and I'm wishing you all a peaceful and prosperous new year-one that will continue to show how you appreciate and respect our natural world and show all just what it is you see that makes life so very wonderful on our dear old world.

This photo is from my last photo shoot of 2007 which shows a wee Downy Woodpecker out on a cottonwood twig.I took several shots of him and managed to show some action with the dusty wood chips flying up into his face.I have in the workshop a photo of the dust.The weather on the last day of 2007 was very good with radiant skies with a deep blue colour and very clear air.So far since winter has begun I have not had much luck in getting photos of my wild friends as they just don't seem to be about.
All the best to you and yours in this now new year and may you get ever more intersting and better photos and have fun doing so. Bob

Hello Bob,
A fluffy little fellow!
The plumage makes me think it is cold outside, hehehe...
This is a fine composition to welcome 2008!
...
And I wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR to come your way!
Seasonal greetings from a chilly Norway,
Pablo -

Hi Bob,

Nice picture and Workshop, to start the New Year.
Well come back. Hope you had good time (I was sick in bed, after 3 days of to much eating).

All the best, Mario

I'm going to try to get out and photograph soon. Seems its one thing or another that keeps me away from my camera. I haven't even had the chance to test out my new lens much. :)
