Thanks guys, Susan and Tess! I appreciate the comments. The little X10 is so fun to use, and so easy to carry around....Otis says bad things about it, but I still love it...just not for shooting Handsome Squirrels!
That first shot......as I headed back to the highway from that long country road, I noticed later that the sky had turned red with colorful clouds just where I had been 20 minutes earlier. Doesn't that get you! I could have had the perfect sky if I had just stuck around...but that is Rattlesnake country, and they are thick along that road at dusk, so maybe it is better I didn't linger?
I came close to being bitten at that location a couple of years back......
Best Regards!
