We went to the Orange County Fair last week, ate a lot of fried foods, rode some rides, played some games, won a fish and walked about one hundred thousand steps.
And guess what?
The Bird Photographer took an Honorable Mention in Nature Photography for his exquisite photo of cedar waxwings sharing food. Honestly, it should have taken first place (and there were a lot of astounding and beautiful photos there), and I am -- as you know -- a fierce and discriminating critic. Plus, I'm not biased at all.

That Bird Photographer guy sure is talented. And obviously patient. And skilled.
ReplyDeleteOh, and cute.
So are all of you fair-goers. Don't you think that Lurid-Beautiful should be a thing? Because that's what the fair is.
What a gorgeous photo of the cedar wax wing pair. So intimate. The photographer is very nice also. I agree with Mary on the Lurid-Beautiful thing. The beautiful sunset skies and moon juxtaposed on the honky-tonk of the midway. I can almost smell the corndogs, the early harbinger of autumn.
