Nice shots Kevin.I'm seeing more pictures posted with the K5 lately and I really like them.Right now my K20d is doing well and maybe when the dust settles on the K5 problems and price I may be upgrading.--charliezap

Thank you Charlie - I also have the K7 (a great camera in it's own right and still in use) but the K5 is a huge step up, a wonderful piece of equipment.

Thank you for your comments Tim, Dave, Bob & Jim !

Oh my goodness, these are simply gorgeous and too cute for words. Your images are so sharp and I can almost feel the downy softness of the babies. I love the colours and have never seen a photo of a black swan before now.. thanks so much for posting. I love these pictures.
