    Thanks, Dick. :D

    I do like all the creatures.....but really I am more of an opportunist. That is. I take what comes along. I have no patience to sit in a blind or linger for a long time in any one place. I think that stems from my type "A" personality.rolleyes1.gif

    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!"

    Very nice captures, Ric. I particularly like the mellow, late-afternoon/early evening light on the second shot. Good work.
