You captured the beauty of this pair in excellent detail here, Debra. Perfect timing on their take-off too. I love the mood you captured here, they're obviously having a great time and are happy to be back.

Yes the cold water seemed to invigorate them and put them in the playful mood. Thanks very much Heather.

Thanks Yves for the feedback always appreciated. Those colours are a reflection from the shoreline. Looked kind of weird when I first noticed it and then realized it was simple the trees and rocks reflecting.

Very nice one Debra. Great action. Look like the far one just made his last jump to take off. The big one in front is realy majestic. Appreciate the patch of different colours on the top left of the photo. Well done

Description
in the frigid water. The ice hasn't been off long. I was out here three weeks ago and only saw two seagulls and a lot of ice.
