   One really has to double-click on this one to appreciate your superb portrait. I love skippers and always find myself trying to imagine how they are able to move so fast and maneuver with such precision. Their brains must work dozens of times faster than ours!

     Thanks, Gary. I too love skippers, though I do find them challenging to identify. As for their speed and agility, I don’t know if it’s their brains, their genes, or their instincts, but they sure sure can act and react and adjust at lightning speed with the precision that you mentioned.
