    Thanks Nee. I gave a print to the girl who owns the pony (Boris) and titled it "Million Dollar Boris" she loved it.

    no way! Lean ham, single egg, no grease in the pan - only a little Pam cooking spray :): .

    compared to some of the food Andy has posted, I'm a lean, mean, posting machine. . .

    Hey Waxie,

    I'm not sure how the big guy relates to fried eggs and ham.headscratch.gif
    Is it that he's NOT a lean mean machine?
    Or is he the product of too much feasting on fried eggs and ham?

    I'm not jscrawley but I doubt if the shot is a photoshopped effect.

    Lots of Amish farmers around my area have goats just like this one - silly faces and silly ears. Goat milk producers?? I don't know. There is a farm with some similar goats right down my lane.

    It's the teeth that make the shot and look unnatural to my city boy eyes.

    The goats teeth do look rather human-like, but whether they are real or photoshopped I can't say. Never looked that closely at a goat's teeth, Laughing.gif! (and we have 'em around Farmersville...where I live, too!) ~Nee ;)

    Naaah, not 'shopped, some goats do have teeth like that. I've seen 'em at our zoo.

    Thanks Nee. I took that while in Connecticut last Christmas. Sun was going down and it was cold and misty. The leaves were all brown, the light looked cold rather than warm, so I went with B&W.

    I like your shot too. You were looking right into the light. In mine, the sun was behind me so I don't have the center of light. The light just seems to disappear. I just love those mists. Great when you can catch them.:):

    Thank you, Nee.

    Well, Mike...for fake flowers, they look great! The lighting and composition are what make the photo so wonderful~

    For Andy, I soooo much enjoy your glimpses of NY city life. I love the contrast of the beautiful tulips and the softly focused street scene in the background of >this< shot. There's so much life in the shot..you can just feel the pulse of energy! Love the off-beat angle, too. You rock!

    Yup, those disks had definitely seen better days, lol! Wow, Stan...you're pretty fast on the draw! I waffled between the two photos and finally decided on the glass of water because I thought the farm equipment might pose a bit of a problem for follow ups. Thanks for noticing~ :D

    i thought the same when i saw it. and this one......i just love the echo of the shapes, the cowboy's seat, the horse's chest, the buckles on the cowboy's clothing, the breast plate on the horse...and then the same shape in the horse in the background......the whole image is very pleasing.
