I'm not quite sure why good news often comes in waves, but there was certainly some good surf this past week.  Every now and then...and I don't mean too often because it would make me a narcissist, but I will admit to Googling myself.  Still sounds dirty, no matter how you say it.  I do it simply to see if any of my pictures have been used in blogs, websites, or any other random corner of the net. Just to be prepared, I am already studying copyright laws country by country just in case I have to go to court in Uzbekistan to get a cease and desist order for using one of my flower pictures.  Those crazy Uzbeks!  Anyway... I digress.

The nuts and bolts of it is that I came across one of my shots from the National Geographic Animals We Love assignment on the CBS News site.  Many things can bring a smile to our face and I will include one of them: seeing the NG yellow rectangle on one of my images.  That's cool.

On top of that... thanks to the geese for the props.  Made the NG Daily Dozen:

Now to keep shooting... and wait to get wet from the next wave.
