Loons and other lake critters

Loons are super easy to get photos of so I don't really bother most of the time.

I like the one with the four loons in a row. So, what's the story with the turtle shot? How did that neat background rendering come into being? Is that a slow-speed shot and that is wind blur, or what?

Ooooo Loons are my absolute favourite bird, I loved hearing them calling over the lake and watching them on misty mornings at our family cottage when I was growing up. It has been way too many years since I've heard that and enjoyed the beauty of these birds, the whipporwill comes in a close second. Please take more shots of the Loons!!!!

I am as biased towards turtles as I am towards kittens. :heart: I love that background on it, too, and that little bit of reflection. Turtle for the win!
