Hi Y'all,

I'm off to St. Augustine today so I figured I would leave y'all with some images from earlier visits to the Alligator Farm.

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!"

    Awesome images Harry. I wonder what the guy in #1 & 2 is looking at so intently. It's amazing how so ugly youngsters can grow into such beautiful adults. (For our species it often works in reverse :D )

    Showoff! Seriously, though, those are great. I love the displaying snowy and the last one has some sweet light!

    I go to St. Augustine for one reason, the rookery. I finally noticed today that they actually have alligators at the Alligator farm. :wow

    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!"

    The snowy in #1 and #2 was displaying, its part of their mating routine.

    Thanks Stephen. Shooting at the rookert requires a bit of patience to get the right capture with the bets light and background.

    Thanks Glenn, no problem with future expectations. I'll just head up to the rookery, shoot for a few hours and take 700-800 images. Then I just let the law of averages take over and 4-5 of the 800 captures come out OK, :D

    Thanks Ric. I'm always amazed at how the cattle egrets get so photogenic at breeding time. The rest of the year they are rather blah.
