The Swallows are coming back. Nice to be able to shoot without a ton of clothing and gloves on! :D Yay! :)

It was sunny here all weekend. Had a blast shooting. Here are little guys. Caption shot is last.

And here is the caption shot. My input:

Her: "You lazy bum!" "Why aren't you out catching bugs like all the other guys?" "Are you even listening to me??!?!?!" "Blah, blah, blah, ad infinitum."

Him thinking: "I flew 4,000 miles for this?" :D

    bowdown.gif Awesome Bifs. What is your secret on getting those swallow bifs. The ones I have around here are just so fast. I can't track them well.

    For the caption..... "What were doing flying around with that sparrow?"

    I dunno, just a wild guessne_nau.gif*all similarities to recent conversations in my household are purely coincidental and bare no resemblance to the actual occurancces of my life...

    Jody, as always, stunning captures. Glad to see my swallow in flight inspiration posting here now!thumb.gif

    Jody, I have no witty captions to add... I just wanted to compliment you on your BIF's (read - Bullets in Flight)... these guys are so fast, so quick to change direction, and so darned hard to track that it is a credit to your abilities that you nail them like you have here. Out-standing!

    Having just started a quest to shoot the living bullets, I am very impressed with your skill. They are wicked to capture, and until now I thought impossible, so thanks for the inspiration to continue. Those of us who have tried know how difficult it is. bowdown.gifbowdown.gifbowdown.gifbowdown.gif
