I sure appreciate all you guys said here. I'm glad you like it!
Yes, S.Z. This is my other part but not my other half. He's my 75% since I am so short!
Mr Tree, I promise the trees are still there. You just can't see them now. I made it "night time" back there in the BG...They are only sleeping. :) Do you feel better now???
You guys, thanks for saying this was great and fabulous, terrific, excellent and outstanding (and even a WINNER! WOW).
I like this one a lot, too. It was a challenge to make and very gratifying.
Your comments mean lots to me. Thank you all so very much!

Those Cat 5's don't sound 6 good to me Denny. I like nice peaceful raft trips with a few thrills but that's all. You were brave to even try them!
Patrick and Jack...did you like the DDR work here? You didn't say...You did however talk about the dancing ladies and rafting HA! Too funny! :)
Thanks you three. Good to see you!
Have great days and PATRICK, TAKE COVER. That storm (hurricane Bob) is headed your way and SOON!!!

Hi Nancy! Thanks so MUCH kind lady!

Rey- You're so good to me. Thank you! Also, we love rafting. It's exciting. We don't take runs that are too TOO dangerous. Okay, I scream a *LITTLE* but only in a few parts of the river, and I always know it's coming. It's a happy scream! :))) We have a good raft with 6 or 7 chambers of separated air so even if we get a rip (and we have in the past !) we make it all the way! (And we wear our life jackets as well, so we're always okay!! :)))
* Hi Emile! It's so beautiful rafting down the BOW RIVER. You will see the BOW RIVER many times on your trip I think? Hummm...if you go north through Edmonton you might not? Anyway, it is pure and fresh glacier water from the JASPER area! (AND COLD TOO!) I'd love rafting the Rio Grande. I hear there is like a 5 year waiting list now! You have to put your name down somewhere? (Parks department???)
Thank you all for commenting on this portrait. I made this back when I ALMOST had NO PS programs. It was mighty hard work giving birth to this one! (It gave me intense labor pains!)

What do you think?
I actually shot this while we were camping at the Bow River Camp ground a few years back.
Do you know what I love best here? His sharp features. Dale has the most interesting face.
Come see him here in Kiki's gallery!

Thanks for making me smile so big! I'll be sure Dale reads this thread, too! :)))
