[Leica] IMG: Neighborhood Sights

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hi, Geoff,

I was surprised to see the "Turkey Vultures" in the tree, though, during the 
Winter, there were a large flock of them that spent each day on the railings 
of a local water tank.  They disappeared when the weather warmed up.

With the fruit branch, I just looked for a uniform background to throw OOF, 
and the green grass did the trick.
