Graham,

How to explain my shots? As Lady Bracknell put it in The Importance of Being
Earnest:

"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance
is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone."  

Perhaps you are better off with lengthy explanations.  Years ago, Max
Eastman wrote a book called "The Enjoyment of Laughter," that was supposedly
a scholarly study of what makes funny things funny.  Groucho Marx said that
even the proofreader fell asleep.

Glad you enjoy the fruit.

Best,
Jim

Hi Jim,

I may have already mentioned that I find a gentle humour in many of your 
shots, so much so that I often smile at the mere site of your name in the 
Inbox.

This shot exemplifies what I mean but I am still unable to define why I view

it with a broad grin. I am probably better off not knowing why I enjoy your 
shots so much, if I did get the answer it might destroy the magic.

Thanks for showing.

--Graham
