    Hey, Ric, you know how much I shoot. I have ONE little bird that I know of and another one, I think.

    The rest, for the most part, are not in the frame. The rest of them are all like yours in some way.

    I shoot them anyway, or I try. The more you shoot them, the more you learn to live with failure. I think those particular little ones will be around for awhile, and they love those red berries. I was in a gas station last year, it had a bush, and I took a photo of a little bird, before I realized how valuable those little birds are.

    It had one of those berries in its mouth. I have no clue as to where it is.

    What I am trying to say is, I think you will have more chances.

    ginger (good try!)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Hey Ric,

    I am always amazed at the photographers who get such clear detailed shots of those little birds. I've caught a few but I've had so many, many, many more misses. I do see improvement in your shots so you're on the right path.

    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!"

    An occasional reward in the way of a decent shot will suffice. After all, it's the thrill of the hunt and all the cool weapons that are the real reward. Oh, and talking about your adventures with other warriors must be included.

    Can you tell I just watched "Kingdom of Heaven" (a movie about the crusades)?mwink.gif

    Ours is just a more civilized and human way....methinks. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks, Harry. :D
