Wasn't go out today and shoot (it's been gray and dismile), but the Machine Gun kept calling to me....take me out :huh

And then look what I came upon :wow

    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!"

    That duck on the right is thinking "hold it - I'm not much bigger than that... :uhoh "


    I've just seen them eat frogs and little critters. Glad the "machine gun" was calling.
