Yay, I hope you have a wonderful vacation! It's been cold and a bit rainy here (for so-cal) but it's usually warm and sunny over the holidays!

Thanks all! This one took a ribbon at a local photo contest a couple years back. It is one of my favorite photos. Took me about 15 minutes of following the bird until I got the photo
