I know this isn't a very good photo, but I wanted to try to convey the sense of joy I experienced watching six or eight of these graceful creatures which joined me as I was mowing, swooping around to pick up any flying insects (of which there were plenty) scared up by the mower. I must have taken forty or fifty shots and deleted all but seven. Gosh, these birds are hard to catch!

But you caught it. I can't even do that with the ones around here. Glad you enjoyed watching them and trying to capture them. Good shot.

Yes, I more or less did, Colleen! Though this is the best of the seven shots I kept, so you can imagine what the others look like, let alone the ones I deleted! However, the mental image is one I will NEVER forget, a little reminder from our heavenly Father of what he has in store for us after this life is over.

Yep, I've got these guys flying all around my house, but unless they land on something, I don't stand a chance at getting an image! Neat shot!
