We wanted to join the folks at MI VI but the wife's work schedule didn't allow it. We were able to get away the following week and had beautiful weather the whole time. Captured this GBH courting a mate while a juvenile looked on from an adjacent palm tree.

    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!"
