She follows me around and let's me find them for her. Next time I'm gonna lock her in the house.

Jul 31, 2007 13:03 | #14 Thanks for the encouragement everyone; I've been trying to get a shot of these for a couple of years - they are normally very easy to spoke. Sometimes being in the right place at the right time helps i.e. you need a bit of luck!
