It's caption time!

[Jody Melanson]

The Swallows are coming back. Nice to be able to shoot without a ton of clothing and gloves on! :D Yay! :)

It was sunny here all weekend. Had a blast shooting. Here are little guys. Caption shot is last.

And here is the caption shot. My input:

Her: "You lazy bum!" "Why aren't you out catching bugs like all the other guys?" "Are you even listening to me??!?!?!" "Blah, blah, blah, ad infinitum."

Him thinking: "I flew 4,000 miles for this?" :D

First off, those are magnificent pictures! WOW! :barb

Secondly, my caption:
Apparently, those expensive singing lessons did NOT pay off.

:bow Awesome Bifs. What is your secret on getting those swallow bifs. The ones I have around here are just so fast. I can't track them well.

For the caption..... "What were doing flying around with that sparrow?"

[Thusie]

Super super shots! Have admired your small BIF shot on NS, just fantastic.

Last one is a hoot!

I dunno, just a wild guess:dunno *all similarities to recent conversations in my household are purely coincidental and bare no resemblance to the actual occurancces of my life...

Jody, as always, stunning captures. Glad to see my swallow in flight inspiration posting here now!:thumb

Jody, I have no witty captions to add... I just wanted to compliment you on your BIF's (read - Bullets in Flight)... these guys are so fast, so quick to change direction, and so darned hard to track that it is a credit to your abilities that you nail them like you have here. Out-standing!

[ShepsMom]

Outstanding work Jody!!! I can't come up with any captions as well, i'm tired LOL.

[Shasoc]

Hi Jody. I still like the RWBB :D . Your BIF are spectacular as usual. :thumb :clap

[dallas]

Having just started a quest to shoot the living bullets, I am very impressed with your skill. They are wicked to capture, and until now I thought impossible, so thanks for the inspiration to continue. Those of us who have tried know how difficult it is. :bow :bow :bow :bow

[riddim_maker]

"there you go again, posing for that photographer and ruining our reputation as 'bullets in flight'"
Awesome set:clap :clap :clap
