You know when I see the bird shots on this forum, flying, on a branch, I am just amazed. When I try it I go to this mode :bow

At least this isn't a total butt shot:D

    I'd normall never post a pic of mine in someone else's thread, so say the word and i'll pull it. I just couldn't stop laughing at the idea of the combination of the two! rolleyes1.gif

    Flying Rat
    This was the first thread I opened with my eyes closed.

    I didn't know what to expect.

    That is a nice shot of what, where we come from, is called a squirrel.

    Regards, Nicholas

    Yes it is called a squirrel here as well, they are my favs actually. Was just doing a bit of word play:D You can always open my posts eyes open, trust me.

    Gee I was quite proud of the flying gull and everyone notices the squirrelheadscratch.gif

    Thanks Steve..Aren't you the one who said gulls are good practice? They do change speed on a whim. I think practice for me would be a flying elephant, but it wouldn't be near as entertaining for Don who was almost on the ground he was laughing so hardumph.gif

    Two good shots. A tree rat and a flying rat though. Do I detect a trend here? I may have to start a "Send Thusie to Florida" drive. biggrinbounce2.gif

    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!"
