nice job
Lloyd,

This is one ode I've not got to see land let alone get a photo. Great job on this too. It does not look posed either.

Hi
Thanks Randy,
Pure luck here! This was the first one we've seen land and the first good look at one. It came in out of nowhere and landed about 8' up. Watched it for about 15 min, and after the first minute it barely moved. Lloyd&Sandy
