Ah, Scottsdale! Maybe this one could be in colour

The juxtaposition of interior and exterior subjects works well. Good to have some words that don't have to be reversed

This is a fairly comfortable one with easy exploration.

Certainly a mindbending set. I can imagine your excitement at the reflection prospects. This is one of the easier ones.

The GR shines again. Those exposure settings would be fine for many daylight shots. Interesting to see the majority of the audience seated, possibly too old and/or too polite to stand for long periods. Only a andful of phones waving in the air too.

Hmm, I come back to this one again. I do like the extra closeness, especially with the eyes yielding more detail and that bokeh is luscious. Re kitty - no pix for a long time ...

This one's my fave but not sure why, beyond the overall impression. Very nice bokeh.

I don't think I've ever had an opportunity to photograph a bird's nesting endeavours, so hardly meh. I like the composition too, with all the action above the diagonal countered nicely by all the empty space below it. Bird on a mission.And now you've uncramped your shutter finger ...

Thanks for link

My sister in law is Scottish and lived near Glasgow. When visiting I got a laugh at the distilleries having Geese as guard dogs. The plants had a double fence like a POW camp from WW2 and the Geese patrolled the inner wires. You would not believe the noise they made when intruders got near the fence and god I feel sorry for any one getting attacked by a hoard of Geese.
