Just practicing to shoot BIF’s. I was throwing some food to keep them close.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I.

    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 Joel, Ric, Harry and Jeff.

    @Jeff
    I promissed myself not to mention any specific kind anymore, merely the common family name. I make too many mistakes because of poor documentation. ne_nau.gif

    The only thing I'm sure of if that "CULL" is like PLUCK like "PLUCK the feathers of a chicken" and GULL is the sea birds like in my pictures but GULL will also represent something like "fooling you, selling you a 6 for a 9"

    Do I make any sense? headscratch.gif

    Sigh...Dutch is soooooo much easier :D
