Don't touch anything. Let's keep on going. Yes. Greg and I wrote a great book. It's going to be a great book. And we've got signed editions coming up for Father's Day. A special edition signed by both of us for Father's Day. Pride of a lion, baby. There you go. God bless. This is working now.

It's just... And they cut out of the water and they try to reposition it in the air. I mean, this is like... So I'm shooting this at 20 frames a second. I'm going...

And then meantime, I got about 30 deer flies biting the hell out of me. I mean, blood is trickling down my face. But I want to get the shots. And then I don't see it because it's happening so fast.

The reflection's in the water.

Yes, baby. Flamingos are coming and they're staying. And we're hoping they stay through the winter. We hope they start to nest again. Come on, the flamingos. What? What? What? What did you say? Say it again.
