    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, Harry. :D

    Those Sandhills were making a racket. I looked awhile before spotting them since they blend in so well with the dead grasses. Hopefully this was their nesting spot so I can get more chances....maybe the sun will even shine!

    One thing about cloudy days though...it's a lot harder to blow the highlights!mwink.gif
