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!"

    Hi Harry.. Great capture and series. I'm trying to not turn green from all the Green I see in your photos. I'm getting tired of brown around here..rolleyes1.gif but our trees are starting to get some buds on them, so it won't be long.

    Thank you, with a sequence like this a fast frame work is your best friend. You just keep taking the shots because it all happens so quickly you can't wait.

    Thanks Chris, one of the good things about Florida is our year round green. I would like an occasional hill though and maybe even a mountain. :cry
