    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I'm sure you are right, Dick. I sure would like to miss one though! :D After Christmas anyway. This getting cold early sucks. The fall is the time of year I do most of my shooting.

    Thanks. :D

    rolleyes1.gif ...yeah, you forgot...rolleyes1.gif I'm sure you froze your buns off more than once. One good thing...I just installed a gas log in the fireplace last week! It sure came in handy. Now I don't have to freeze my buns off getting wood all the time...'cause we do love a fire. Rum tastes good in coffee too...although it's advisable to skip the umbrella!

    Thanks, Harry.:D

    The problem is that these fall flowers sadly got cut short.
