Hi Y'all,

I'm heading up to St. Augustine tomorrow and I'll be shooting there through Monday. I figured I would leave y'all with a few more shots from the rookery and with some luck maybe I'll be back with some better ones.

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 series. I especially like the Wood Stork, Cattle Egret and alligator captures. Good luck with your shooting trip. thumb.gif

    Harry you might as well not go if you're looking for better shots...you can't possibly beat these. (Did that alligator swallow your strobe??? I can see his tonsils!) thumb.gif

    Thanks Jill, I love shooting the wood storks. There's always room for improvement. If there wasn't a chance to get a better shot there would be no reason to go out again.

    Thanks, that gator really posed nicely, very unusual. The gators and crocs usually just lay around and do nothing (a lot like myself).

    Its amazing that cattle egrets are so uninteresting for 9 months out of the year but they get so interesting and animayed during their mating season.
