Hi Everyone,

I was out yesterday and today and got a few shots. It was REALLY windy all day today so not much flying
except the Ducks.
I saw an Osprey but he gave up trying to cross the lake (to windy) and finally turned and went with the wind.

Hope you enjoy.. Comments welcome.

    #2 is absolutely GORGEOUS. I audibly went "DANG, WHAT A SHOT" sitting here at my desk. I LOVE IT. That's something worthy to hang on a wall and tell people about - AMAZING. bowdown.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!"
