Photo Safari - Stan Cochrane

Eric - Having never been to Hilton Head before, my excitement about our visit built once I found you on the 101 things to do in Hilton Head web site. I knew that wildlife was bountiful on the Island, but I can not thank you enough for truly putting my wife and I in full contact with it. Juggling 3 bodies and 5 lens (thank you Sandy for helping me) you gave me more opportunities for photos in 3 hours then I get when shooting a Carolina Panther's game.  Choosing 3-5 photos to show case our trip is IMPOSSIBLE. Hopefully you can post all I have sent (I have dozens more) .  What a great trip, I hope I get the chance to experience another, truly an experience of a life time.
