How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's great to see more of your Viera images Harry. I too really like that Black Bellied Whistling Duck. The wing and feet extension preparing for landing is very nice.thumb.gif

    Nice shots, Harry. But your mechanic hasn't seen any cars driven around the Salton Sea....

    Nice shots Harry, especially the moorhen fight.

    I think that the mud at the Viera Wetlands may dry up this month.

    I said I was as dapper as I was before I went to the wetlands. I never said I was dapper. I was, in fact, rather grungy going in. Linda says that I'm the only person she knows who can go into a swamp and come out looking cleaner. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Stephen. I can't wait for things to cool down a tad (the heat index today is 102) so I can go out again.
