    I hope to get some shots of those before the year is out.
    Some strange reason I haven't seen any this year.
    Usually quite common in my area. ne_nau.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!"
