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!"

    WOW.

    All beautiful pictures, but the second one is stunning. What bird is that?

    (I'm gradually learning to identify North American species by haunting this forum...)

    Thanks the second one is a cattle egret in his mating colors. Most of the year the cattle egret is a drab looking white bird except for its mating season.

    I see you're giving no credence to the possibility he said "screw this continuation of the species crap, lets try something a tad different".

    Thanks Ric those cattle egrets are marvelous subjects during their mating season.

    Those tortoises were just having some tortoise fun.

    I feel like the tortoise is looking directly at the photographer! Very cute.
