    Default Thrilled! Loon Image reps MLPA!

    Hope it's ok I post this here! One of my Loon images has been selected to represent the Michigan Loon Protection Association! (MLPA).
    "Spring Rain" will be the 2014 image on the MLPA membership card! WOOT!

    The image conveys the beauty and serenity of these precious birds... even in the rain. I am so grateful to both MLPA and to our Loons to provide this opportunity.
    (yep, IQ not that great... but works ok for a 2x3 membership card!) MLPA's mission is to document and assist in the survival of MI Loons.

    Randy.... your images will "blow 'em away"!!!! That would be GREAT! Since you live and photograph in MI... I'd be happy to connect you to the MLPA Coordinator....

    Thanks so much, Dan, Christopher and Steve! Really appreciate your comments.

    (This is the only bird that I'll go out and sit in the mud in pouring rain to photograph.... sometimes it works, often, not so much!)

    Congratulations! It is always such a great honor to get published. I have yet to shoot loons in this plumage.
