Sometimes the horizontal format, which I use for most of my pictures, does not suit an image. That is the case for this view of the Ruffed Grouse, a bird whose range seems to include my yard. Both intricacy and beauty demanded a large vertical format.

Nice shot! Have a great day!!
Thanks to Greg Nesteroff’s article about the train wreck which had your blog link in it, I was able to view your pictures. Wonderful images!! Since I’m new to your blog could you tell me what kind of camera you use please and a little bit of your background. Probably the answers are in the archives but where would I look?
Actually, the site offers no information about either me or my technology. The closest I have come to discussing such matters was a posting made last November where I wrote about my approach to creating this site.
Wonderful shot highlighting such beautiful plummage
