Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  ÂÂ

Once, someone who thought they were doing a good thing, brought me a sack of these bats and asked me to relocate them...well I guess I did because he put them in a birdcage in my garage. The next morning I went to check on them before taking them out to the river and they were all gone! Fit right through those cage bars. I never looked too hard for them...I'm not a big fan of bats up close, although I've had a few encounters with them in the wild. great find and great shot.

Very nice capture! Where was this, Dana? I wouldn't go seeking bats out, but I've seen a few brown bats, the kind we usually see in NH and they were actually pretty cute...like brown mice with wings. I know that the bats in New England are threatened by a virus and is has wiped out huge colonies of bats. People don't realize how much bats are truly our friends. The amount of bugs they can eat is stunning. Nice shot!

Cool cave capture, Dana! Oh boy, Count Dracula and his minions catching up on their beauty sleep. Actually, bats get a lot of bad press. They do use sonar in flight and control the insect population after leaving their cave. And is there anything MrsLubner hasn't experienced?
MrsRatbag
What a wonderful shot! Great details!

kbrog

Nope, creepy! That big fat one in the back looks ready to attack. You are brave. Rats with wings what a horrible thought. Still a great shot.

A nice shot of bats , In the UK bats are a protected species and you are not allowed to handle them.
