Thanks Chuck. I was disappointed at how many shots were poor, so
perhaps it was that speaking. There is a sequence of a young bird in
the air that I really love for its antics, but every frame is slightly
out of focus.

The self-portrait is not my favorite, but since I included a photo of
Ken, I thought I'd include myself as a joke. You might like the
alternative which is now on my homepage better:

Ken showed me his shot on the LCD and I knew that I'd been whiffed.
Rather than imitate his right there, I figured I'd sneak back to that
town sometime and copy him. My shot is one of my classic attempts to
try to work too many things at once. I figured I show post it anyway
and take my lumps. I got lucky enough on a couple of the eagles.
Ken also tried to show my his photos on the back on his OM-3Ti, but
apparently only he is able to see those.

You're a lot like my older brother, who can't stand electric lines and
poles in photos. I like them -- so there! Just say NO to cloning.

OK, you're on. I want to see gators! Have a great vacation and don't
lose any fingers and toes.
