@jocasta I shoved the camera right in his face lol, he was having a bit of trouble moving about and I noticed in the pics that he appears to have one leg missing, but he flew off.

@kali66 Hey -- I'd LOVE to swap!!! I could at least do something with lights and B&W. Could we start a new tradition of choosing tags, and then a few days to swap before we commit.
