There can't be any bird as photographic as the Toucan. The Toucan BEGS to be photographed. They are curious, photogenic and comical. The beaks are extremely striking. The colours - orange, yellow, blue around the eye and black and white body are heaven sent to the camera. All a toucan would need is a little green belly and you would have the whole rainbow of colours.
This particular Toucan took a great interest in my 250mm lens. I think he was a bit of a poser. So whilst his Toucan bird friends steered clear, he was constantly pushing into my lens.
It was the first encounter I've ever had with the Toucan, I pray that its not my last. They are the most awesome of birds.(doug88888)+

I miss you, I love you, I need you, I want you.
I miss you most... when I'm about to sleep.
I miss you most... when I change channel on the TV.
I miss you most... when I see something funny through the car window.
I miss you most... when I'm walking alone.
I miss you most... when I'm in a crowd of people.
I miss you most... when I took this picture.

Wow - my little finger painting I miss you has reached a bit of a mile stone 25,000 views in just short of one year. I'm so pleased that this picture has (excuse the joke) touched so many of you.
So many people in the world missing so many others. All have a wonderful life and look after those around you. You never know when your might miss them again.
I miss you all.
