While I’m not so often on this forum these days as I like to, doesn’t mean to say that
I don’t take pictures. Whatever may occupy me, the shooting will be the last thing
that has to suffer from time pressure.

I hope you like the pics as much as I like them.

    Number 5 is a quality shot for sure!

    Good all around technically but the bird has this look about him like he was saying: "HEY! I see you sneaking around back there!"

    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!"
