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!"

    A good set
    As usual! What a great blue sky too!

    I like the closed-eye bird sitting on the branch.

    Expect to see loads of birdie shots coming up soon, heh?

    Hey Dee,

    We just got through two very ugly days and the sky yesterday was like a "make-up" present from the weather gods. Srrating Tuesday it will be birds and more birds. :D

    Thanks Vandana. I'm kind of short on time for the next week. These are just a few of the 700 shots I took today. I didn't run the script for teh exif data to save time. All the shots were handheld with the D2X and the 300mm F/4 and 1.4 TC.
