    Nice series! That first shot makes me think the osprey is looking to rip off YOUR head next. Watch out!

    I love this second shot, it's a prime canidate for OOBing too.

    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 William. It's ok to stand up in the boat. I asked my Mother....and she said it's O.K. Regarding going swimming. I've done that a few times....but fortunately without the camera. eek7.gifrolleyes1.gif

    There is always an open invite if you ever get over this way. Don't know how your sea legs are....but the boat tour is pretty cool. If you don't like birds, fish, dolphins, manatees and bikini babes..then maybe not your cup of tea. ne_nau.gif:D
