    Thanks. Glen is the one for the good photos but I do what I can with my old pocket camera. It is at times like these that I wish I had continued using an SLR but I don't like carrying that weight around. :eek: :D

    Shiney!

    What fantastic and interesting pics! Thanks so much for embracing this whole idea 200%!

    The very first pic looks like it may be a Sunbird by the shape, but I'll really enjoy trying to look up and find out what they all are!

    Brilliant!

    Strongy, a friend gave me the book "1,000 places to see before you die" when I retired. I'm working on it [​IMG] :D . The only thing that worries me is what happens when I have done all 1,000 :eek: :eek:
