What a beauty!
Seeing that this is from BC, and I've heard of them being down here in WA often, I really hope I get one someday. Your photos of this one are spectacular!

Thank you for your comment. My photos are OK, the only problem i have with them (besides flash adjustment) is depth of field; i will eventually buy a program to help me deal with that.
