George, I think you have distilled this topic with your various messages.

I like to post as a way of showing "Look at what I saw, and how I saw it."
In the subject line I put IMG and a description, so no one will waste time
looking at something they might not be interested in.

Sadly, as of late, I have time to comment only on pictures that give me a
special feeling in my gut since I've become a caregiver to my wife and my
94-year old mother, but there are lots of postings that I enjoy.
