Hi Y'all,

Last weekend I was showing two photographers from London around the Viera Wetlands. The day was overcast but the wetlands gave us a pretty good show.

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!"

    i say i say i say - these responses seem a little sarcastic to a Brit like me !! remember we taught you how to speak and then left you to bastardise the language as you saw fit wings.gifwings.gif - should never have let the Mayflower leave:D Good pictures though
    Being part of the "pond life" is OK - just keep aspiring

    Thy had me at a distinct disadvantage as these were shooting conditions they were used to. I managed to muddle through though.
