I am amazed at how many animal lovers LUG has, I thought I was the only one that went bananas over my pets (thinking I was suffereing from some delayed parental affection, my daughter, Pharyn, being very grateful for escaping my smothering attention). It is wonderful to know there are so many that love their furry kids. Perth is having the "Million Paws March" next Sunday - I am arming myself with my M6 (reducing risk of being eaten alive after F5) and hope to post some PAWS (pun coincidental) Watch this space for a bit tongue smear over my Noctilux lens - Ted, may have to use that filter after all. :-) Karina - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aram Langhans" <langhans@yakima-wa.com> To: "leica users group" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 10:37 AM Subject: [Leica] Too late for Cat Photos???? > I have been having some connection problems lately so I could never get > these photos posted.
