I've been reading but not writing to the LUG much - we're getting ready to fly to D.C. for my eldest son's wedding, finishing the prep on a kitchen remodel, and finishing up an exhausting couple of months of workshops for the grasslands folks. It's a wonderful image - the problem being that you just make it look so EASY! We're spoiled with your fabulous images. Now I've packed up cameras and suitcases and am steeling myself for the "joys" of modern air travel. adam On 6/6/06, Douglas Herr <telyt@earthlink.net> wrote: > > On Jun 6, 2006, at 9:01 AM, Walt Johnson wrote: > > > There is nothing wrong with getting up close and personal.
