I think it has been coudy with snow , snow showers here for about 2 weeks.
Today the sun came out. It was still only about 34 with a strong wind to make it feel colder.....but SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so I went out for a while

Found these Golden eye's........not tack sharp but I was excited to come across them.

    Nice shots! I especially like the first two. I guess there is no doubt why they are called "Golden Eyes." mwink.gif

    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!"
