    Really great series, Dick! Beautiful shots.

    It would be nice if you provided the species ID along with the images. You have some interesting critters in your land, and it would be nice to know what they are.

    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!"

    Wow Dick! This is one of your better series. The colors just jump right out and every shot looks very sharp. I love the one of heron peeking out from the weeds. thumb.gif

    Thanks Maestro.

    I think that I'm the first to complain about the sharpness. The 80-400 VR is a good lens one but it cannot compare to a prime. I had some other financial priorities but I am on the path of 500mm prime +TC. iloveyou.gif

    btw D2Xs is 2nd on my wish-list. mwink.gif
