hi group ... Gene and I went to Westmoreland Park (Portland) for a
Christmas afternoon walk ... at one point we hid against the trees
and pretended we were part of them ... the male Bufflehead came very
close ... I tried to shoot the sequence of him diving and then
re-surfacing ... got some !!! ... and yes, I did adjust the
light/dark of the underwater images a bit to show him better ...
