    Jill, I think it's the background in #3… nice to have something other than sky.

    Neil, it was one of those afternoons where you couldn't miss. They were all over the valley.

    Mark, thanks. It's got a bush cricket in its beak. They were picking them off like they were gorging on Pringles :chef:

    Adele, the grass isn't too bad. I don't completely disappear when I wade through it to get a better shot. :right:
