Mike Poole traveled from the UK to Florida for a vacation with family. I met him this morning at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. It was nice to put a face to the posts and comments in BPN. I captured this image this morning at Lake Morton. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Great to meet you Joe, and all the assistance was much appreciated.
Lovely frame - ISO 9000? I take it this was early on when I was off bothering the pelicans? Great IQ, perfect shooting and head angle and I too like the extra interest from the flowers.

Hi Mike, actually it was when I was sitting on the second bench around the corner from the first bench I sat on. The bird landed between us on the brick wall at the lake edge. The bird was in the shade and I left the shutter speed at 1/2000 so that is why the ISO 9000. I agree it was nifty galifty to meet you, thank you for viewing and commenting.

Nice! A good dorsal view here, and the clovers add a lot to the scene. Getting a few inches higher would have helped here IMO - to clear the feather tips form the grasses.
