Essence of Spring
Uploaded: April 11, 2007
Hi Guys,
This week I have been occupied with work and have hardly had any time to go out and shoot. Still I had been observing a couple of Great crested Grebes on a nest near my home recently and now the eggs have hatched and family life has started for them. So I decided I could spare half an hour and went over to the Grebes to take some couple of hundreds shots.
Here's one that I really liked.
Greetings,
Jeroen Stel
