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!"

    Thanks Dallas. It was a fitting end for the lizard. Better to be an egret's lunch than to be making bad ads. rolleyes1.gif

    I've eaten bits of one of the bigger kind: alligator. Does not taste like chicken! :D

    Doesn't look as if...
    ...the cattle egret dipped the Geico Gekko first. Do those things go down dry?

    Gulp. Good snack capture. Thanks again Harry for showing us more than we need to know about an egret's diet. :D
