  Hi Guys!!!

Well, it' a quarter to 3 a.m. here. I have GOT to get to sleep now.

Oops! Too late. I can see I am already sleeping!!!

Photobucket

No...I'm awake again...No wait... sleeping...Humm...

ANYWAY--- I have been to all of your galleries now and really enjoyed myself.

Thanks for everything you said here.

Brett, you're on. Now let's get the "rest" on the BP BUS and I will bring the camping coffee. My specialty!

(Egg shells are the secret!) <--- No kidding!

It was fun! As always!

  YES! You are right. All of you! He was having WAY too much fun, laying down on the job, but the story is that he was tired of rowing the boat.

Now he looks at peace! :) JUST CHILLIN'.

I'm tickled that you are all having such fun with this one. As I stood there at the rivers edge it was pretty cool shooting him.

:) I agree with Rolan however...Did you read what he wrote?

  Last To First:

Thanks Steve! I took more than a few shots of this guy and I agree. This one has that 'special balance' to it. Thanks so much for noticing and for dropping by. Good to see you! Were you just passing by in your canoe? :)

* * *

Thanks Vladan! I wish we could add sound effects to our threads. You would have loved hearing the water! :)

* * *

Such Fun! Thanks Evy! :)

* * *

Hi Zaanat! How very nice to see you out gallery hopping tonight! I am the lucky one today! Thanks so much!

* * *

Hi Ujjwal! Well, I'm an old hand now at this nature walk thing. My eyes are always focusing on the unusual. It's my job to report it back to you all so I stay on my toes!!!

* * *

Hi Carol!!! :) It was so fun when I saw him. I knew he'd make a great shot! Thanks you for enjoying him with me!
