Newton's? ;-) No question the photo doesn't tell the story, but I'd say the photo is way beyond being a "family album type snap." B.

I agree that the story is not in the picture. That's why I shared it. As to it being a snap; well, this one was at f2.8 four feet away, backlighted, I hope there is some merit in that. I live in a small Southern town, 19,000 people; the dramatic is often not present here. I have tried to portray how it feels to live here in my postings. I like the picture, or I would not have posted it, but my pictures don't always appeal to everyone, and that is as it should be. People's tastes vary, and that's why they make so many flavors of ice cream. Thanks for your comments, and your congratulations on our fund raising. The power of a community rising up to do extraordinary things amazes me.
