    Hi Stephen.

    I'm a busy man Ric and not happy with the available limited time. Although I'm very agressively defending my free sundays, life always find a way to f..k that up too! rolleyes1.gif

    I try my best to shoot at least half the quality of your pics. I'm still far from that but I'm going strong! thumb.gif

    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!"

    I love to assume that you "thinking" was on photographic level. :D

    Nice to see that there are some new "faces" on this forum too.

    The little guy in #1 looks like he's :ivar. I like #6 b/c the grayish blues and browns in his feathers are repeated in the color of the water. And I love the color of #9 as well! thumb.gif
