Another candidate for the "virtual gallery" - you know they one... would take
terabytes to store all those images we all missed....

<< Hi all:
 Well, I just suffered the "missed photo-op of the week (maybe the
 year!)".  While walking to lunch, I passed a large oak tree.  There were
 3-4 crows squalking, and I paused to look at them.  I then noticed on a
 lower limb (about 10 ft off the ground) was a large red-tail hawk
 munching away on a fresh squirrel.  However, what made the shot even
 more interesting was another squirrel sitting on a limb 180 degrees away
 from the the one the hawk was on, at the same level in the tree, looking
 *very* concerned.  Unfortunately, all my cameras were back at the house,
 even the XA.  I figured the shot would be gone by the time I got back to
 my house and got the cameras and returned.  However, on the way back
 from lunch, the hawk was still there (the other squirrel and the crows
 were long gone).  The hawk was no longer having his lunch, but was just
 watching the folks on the heavily travelled path in front of the Science
 Center here.  This almost makes me want to start carrying a OM with a
 couple of lenses in a small bag everywhere I go, but deep in my heart I
 know I will never see anything quite like this again. >>
