Hi Carolyn! Sorry for the rough day!! I'm with you...mowing is not my best hobby! Thanks so much for taking time, Carolyn. I think you're very sweet too!!! Take it easy now...you worked hard enough today!

Thank you Peder!! I appreciate the feedback and compliment so much! I'm hoping you check the site with your comments because your email still isn't working!! I had three returned to me. Take care, Peder and thanks again!!!

Delores, You cease to amaze me!.. I have never seen a picture of yours that wasn't absolutly beautiful and perfectly sharp.. This perfect! Please tell me what camera and lenses you use. Are they nikkor lenses?

Um...I think Donna meant "never cease to amaze me..." Funny! :) Great close-up, again Dolores.

8/13/2002 9:50:52 PM

Hi Donna....Yes, I knew I would cease to amaze you someday!! I guess today is the day!! Just kidding...I knew what you meant!

Well, here you are feeding me chicken soup again...you and Piper!! Donna, I use a Canon G1 digital camera that's currently with Dr. Canon (sent back to factory for repair)!! Actually, my lens was naked...no filter or polarizer for this shot....just the measely(sp?) little 3x proprietary zoom on the camera. What I'd give for an SLR based digital camera with REAL LENSES and more functions...like more focusing features! I have my heart on the D60 but we just bought a new SUV and sporting equip....so it'll be awhile. To make matter worse, we are going on vacation on Friday!! It'll be half a vacation now with no camera!!

Thanks again, Piper dearest!! I know I'll see some winners from you too at the end of the month! And you too, Donna!!

And here you go again, you big show off! This is great! You deserve it so much!!

Now that you have finished with him/her can I take it home... please!!!
Another wonderful image Dolores.
Cheers Adam

Congrats, Dolores! Well deserved!

9/8/2002 11:34:16 PM

Carolyn, Adam and Piper! Thank you! So much!! How kind you all are! Adam....I can understand you would want this little guy...I wanted him for myself!! But I knew I had to promptly return him to his parents at the farm. I bonded with him during the shoot and when visiting him at the farm a few months later....I couldn't tell which duck he was. Definitely not as cute as he was!! Thanks so much everybody for extending another kindness. It really means alot to me!!
