Hi y'all,

I'm still not allowed out of bed. Right now the 13th is the earliest I will be allowed out of bed. I do miss the shooting. At least I can do some limited post processing.

Here's a few of a GBH on the hunt.

something has caught his eye

    What? No flip! Nice series Harry. At least this is giving you time to post process some old shots. Hope you are able to get out soon.

    Ye Gads!
    You are still laid up? You must be about going crazy about now. While it's good to get caught up on all that post processing, I hope you're not driving Linda too crazy!

    I like the first photo, must have seen a gator or something!

    Get well soon,

    Thanks much Dick. What's really tough is when I sit outside and see the birds flying over.

    Lovely series. I rode out to check out the local GBH population today. Seems
    a bit low. No where near the beauty of the spots we went in FL though.

    Thanks Ian. We are very lucky in Florida. Not only do we have an abundance of targets but they are pretty used to humans and often asssociate us with food so we can get a lot closer to them.
