    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!"

    The swallow is super Ric! I also like the Sandhills against the sky, it's interesting to me. Nice collection sir.

    WOW, I love that Swallow with the flowers for a background, and the Sandhills look great with the sunlight streaking in the sky.

    Well done! clap.gif
