79 seconds???!! Long one, Marty - think I'd be nodding off waiting - that fire and it's warmth looks mighty comforting! :) A fantastic blend of 2 with great detail and lots of beautiful firelight glow. As always, well done! Happy 32nd to you and Barb with wishes for many, many more years in health and happiness! #8900111

I bet that 79 felt like eternity. Is it that time of year again. You got to get back for the Ryan's don't you. #8900218
