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!"

    nice images harry. not to be picky the only thing I just wish is that you were at a more level angle with the bird. but still nice capture.
    Some men see things as they are an say "Why?"
    I dream things that never were and say
    "Why Not?"

    I just got through watching the scene in "Cool Hand Luke" where he eats 50 hardboiled eggs.

    Great series.
