    Good one Laurie thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Isn't it fun to try catching birds while they are flying? Man, I sure do enjoy it. iloveyou.gif

    The wings are a bit hot, but as you say the light was bright ne_nau.gif Still, a really nice shot considering the light and the contrasty background that could have easily stolen your focus away clap.gif

    My Laurie, I do like that!!! For your first, no matter, it is a nice shot to have gotten in any order!

    I don't mind the light wings, I love the colors you have, variations on a theme.

    Nice shot!

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    thanks, ginger, i like the way the colors turned out, too. a lot of the others are all very bright blues and whites reflecting off the water.

    thanks, steve, too :)
