I don't think this forum is step up with text resizing, I could never resize either.

Very funny, and unfortunately, probably more true than not.

Now that was funny.

[metro223]

Yesterday we FINALLY got around to taking a trip to Lawton/Ft. Sill to get pics for SeabeeBolt and bjb123! Took a little over 700 pics... Now I just have to decide on my favorites and get them resized to post!

There were soooo many Prairie Dogs, and birds! Gulls, Geese, Coots, and Ducks of every color! (including one with a 'bouffant' hairdo... )

I got my first pic of a red-tail hawk, and one kestrel.

Friday, while taking pics of my 'yardbirds' a Hawk landed on the fence!! The sound of 30 doves all taking off at once startled me so bad I almost didn't get a pic of the hawk!


( I think I found my Nature pic entry... whoo hoo! )

[peggydavis]

That's great LadyRobyn. I know all the people PCSing to Lawton will appreciate you so much for your pictures. Hurry! Can't wait!
