Hi you'll

I was hoping to show some Crested Caracara shots but they came out crappy so I'm falling back on the all time favorite Snowy Egret.

This one did not like being photographed. At first it tried staring me down

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!"

    for the non-wildlife pic here's a shot from the hurricane season. After the storm had passed I went outside and saw what had been deposited at our front door.

    Golly Fish give me a break. I said I had some Crested Cacara shots but they came out bad. This was my fall back bird. Geez I even threw in the port-o-san shot! What do you want from me already. I would go on with this hissy fit but I still have a thread of dignity left.

    Nice hurricane shutters, Harry!

    I love your egret shots. He is so funny, he looked like my egrets, until he saw you, rolleyes1.gif . How did you get him to do those tricks. Were you wearing the red shirt again?

    g
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I need some lessons in bird photography...from you.

    Oh, and here's another porta-potty shot. Anybody want to venture a guess
    as to where? No fair peeking.

    Harry would love to go to Yosemite but Harry has an idiot son. I told the lad not to join the Guard when he got out of the Army. Naturally he goes into the NG. Right now he's at Ft. Stewart as his unit has been activated and is receiving training for service in Iraq. His training will end in late April and he should have his last leave, before they ship his butt out, around the time of the Yosemite shoot.

    Now that I think of it I was wearing my red shirt. I don't think it was the shirt though. That egret and I had a personal conflict. :duel
