Congratulations to Legger for their successful contest entry.
Legger's very first post on DU was the photograph of the hummingbird, "Coming In For A Landing," in the August photo contest. It was tied for second place with two other great photos.
I've known Legger for thirty eight years. We first met when I dropped off a roll of Tri-X at her family's custom B&W Photo Lab in 1983. Fortunately for me, I had the good sense to marry her! Leslie and I celebrated our thirty sixth anniversary earlier this year. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I married her for the free photoprocessing.
Leslie isn't able to start a thread since she is still a new DU member, so she asked me to thank everyone for their support.

I'm about as far from a photographer as one could be. In fact, I joke about having bad camera karma. 🤣
All that said, I am perpetually in awe of the amazing talent you & others her display!
I love your hummingbird pix!
Can't wait to see more of your work! 
(my dear is my signature greeting!)
So glad to have you aboard.
I was wrong when I told you that you can't start your own thread (like this one by Grumpy) until you have 10 posts. Since you have a star, you may start a thread any time you want! Sooner or later, whatever you want. 
Welcome aboard!
Welcome to DU!!!
Between you and Ross we will all have to raise our game. And that is a good thing!
We don't just do pics though, there are some great groups out there! Much love to both of you.💖 Ross had some very kind words for me over DU mail that I appreciated so very much. You are both great additions to DU. Huzzah!!!!!
PS Ross, you rock, if not for anything but marrying Leslie 
At least that's what she tells me!
