Just testing to see if the good folks at PPG have a sense of humour.

Entered as "The Catch - Osprey and Trout" An osprey lifts off from the water after catching a trout.

Thanks Hamid.

Now I need to decide whether to head west after Sasquach or overseas to the Loch.

Decisions, decisions.

Oh, Peter, I may have to put off my retirement for a few more weeks. Important work to be done.

Sorry.

Retired? You are only in the 30s right? Too young to do so ...

Thanks, James. But I may have mis-identified the species of bird and fish, now that hamid has drawn my attention to some of the finer details. Hopefully this won't affect the final decision at PPG.

I have your vote(s) right?

And, James, I can remember my 30's. Is that a good sign?

Signs for ...?

Sure I have seen your photos somewhere in DPR with threads like "what do you look like" sort of things. There were numerous of them but sure there was one of you there about my age.

Definitely I will vote it in for sure. This is another realm of photography. hehe

I know where the Sasquach lives, and I just happen to be going past his home on Thursday.
He usually tells me to leave the camera gear at the door, but I might be able to bribe him with a cookie or 2

You're surely stumbled upon 2 previously undiscovered species of bird and fish! The White Bellied Floating Fish and the North American Red Chested Wooden Raptor! Incredible finds! So often, we get such poor quality photographs of such rarities, but this shot is superb!

Thaaaanks a lot Hamidlmt for giving him ideas!!! I was sure I had Tom convinced to send me an xmas present... Now he'll be off on a quest that could take years. And to add to that he goes from shooting some of the sharpest images I've seen to trying to convince us that the fuzzy blob in the upper left corner is a 3 meter tall "Bigfoot".
