I’m ashamed to say that I had almost given up on you, Snark. So glad to see you back! How’s the landing gear?

Ride well,

This is a spectacularly beautiful shot. I and my photography crazy friends are constantly hunting the perfect raptor shot and this one is really beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

Gary : Thanks. The landing is still pulling to the right slightly, but slowly getting better. The acid test will the the 272 steps I shall have to climb tomorrow morning.

Lisa : Thank you. We (my colleagues and I) were standing in the parking lot waiting for the Panzer to come and collect us. I looked up, and saw this hawk soaring on the thermals. A quick change of lenses, and I managed to snap 6 or 7 usable pictures before she vanished over the building. I can email the set of originals to you in 2048 X 1024 if you wish.

Hi Snark. Thank you so much for the offer to email the originals to me. Would love to receive them. Much appreciated.
