I like the flock of birds picture better http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd65/thebigzwatson/dyxum/DSC02639_zpsde14... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd65/thebigzwatson/dyxum/DSC02638-2_zps32... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd65/thebigzwatson/dyxum/DSC02637_zps45e1... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd65/thebigzwatson/dyxum/DSC02636_zpsc257... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd65/thebigzwatson/dyxum/DSC02635_zpsf241...
