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!"

    excellent work as usual Harry, you need to send that bird to my yard and help me evict some of these tree frogs that always gather on my door.

    Good series, Harry!

    I love the way you catch those birds doing the "dip" thing!

    Nice set of shots, Harry. I must say that water is nasty. You better throw in some Clorox before I come over to shoot. I don't like green. :uhoh :D I want some of that Nikon blue in the water and sky for those eagles I'll be shooting. eek7.gif:D

    Happy New Year. beer.gif

    Thank you Michael. He would probably do a quick job on your tree frogs. :D

    Great shots, by the way.

    Hang in there Dave, your time will come again. I have had a house guest staying at my place since last week. She lives in St. Paul and is kind of going through culture shock right now. :lol
