    Very interesting series of the usual suspects plus. Yeah I went to that same class where they taught the wing clipping technique. I made an A+ on the exam:D Beautiful eyes on the kite.

    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!"
