but what to do with that dang lens cover? well, my daughter has an idea...

here's my youngest daughter as the official lens cover holder... but obviously, got some things to learn about cameras...

fun day... but i think my girls, like their father, lack ninja skills...
they were way too excited to see birds and 3 girls screaming out "BIRD!!!" in an enclosed hide was a bit much... and i'm sure the birds were quite confused at the funny noises coming out of a camo blind...

thanks for looking!
