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!"

    Wonderful shots, Harry. I have been out twice in the last week. All I see are Snowys and Little Blues. (and a lot of green algae: so bad yesterday I am thinking of black and white)


    I did not see, nor spook, any green herons nor night herons. Only saw one Great Blue Heron practically in the next county.

    It is pouring rain today, not sure why, but I am SICK, and any sense will keep me home until Saturday when Dixie is supposed to be here.

    You done good, Harry. I am not fond of the super blue color you all seem to get in Florida (better than super green, though), these are just right!

    Thanks Jeff. For your information the limpkin is a red, white and blue all American bird. Among its many achievements was being recorded to be used as jungle background sounds in the Trazan movies (limpkins can be very noisy when alarmed). thumb.gif

    Thanks Ginger and you take it easy and get better. You would probably feel better if you had that nice Florida blue water in your neck of the woods. :D

    Hey Mike,

    If we took all the money we collectively spent on our camera gear we probably could have opened up our own bank. rolleyes1.gif

    Glad to see that you are finally getting on the "blues" program. rolleyes1.gif
