    Like that second shot the most but cousin Morty is pretty cool. Must be part crane though. Look at him 'craning' his neck.

    Clever Ric. :D

    Nice set, Ric. Second and third shots are awesome (both versions of third). Looks like you're having fun with your rookery.

    Herons are some of my favorite subjects and these are beautiful! I hope I can capture some as beautiful next year.:D
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    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!"
