Hi Y'all,

A few shots from last November that I recently got around to processing. I ran across our local hawk after he had found a frog.

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. My backlog has been cleared up. November was busy because I had 4 visitiing photographers coming in individually, then the holidays, and as the holidays ended I had to put all my attention on coordinating the annual Merrit Island Shoot . November's oics got left by the wayside until my medically enforce shooting hiatus in August.

    Thanks Trish. That hawk is always around. I caught him on Monday snacking on a fish. I'm pretty much caught up now at long last.
