That's an eye-catcher. Gotta love that seal.
Thanks, Hans.

I'm not sure which is more impressive - the fly or the photography.
Beautiful, Hans. As always.

Hans, I like how you used the tippets in this one.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
