    Good set Trish. I don't know how I missed you that day. I must have been really in the zone. You got a much better shot of the gator and the turtle than I did. Dang you!

    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!"

    Is that a baby gator to the left of the big gator? (a turtle?)

    The background on the egret is very nice.

    I'm with Dick on the limpkin shot. thumb.gif (hilarious caption)wings.gif

    Happy to see
    You're getting out to the wetlands again.

    What is the story with the gator and the turtle? I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

    Simple story Dee. Gator was sunning himself. Turtle ambled on by in its usual slow turtle amble. Gator said snack time, grabbed turtle and went into the water with it.

    Lol, harry. It's usually me who is in the ZONE! No problem I'm sure we'll bump into each other again. Boy was I ever rusty in shooting. Need lots more practice.

    Thanks. It was entertaining to watch him play with that rope.
