Exif: FNumber: 3.5, ExposureBiasValue: 0/10, ExposureTime: 3.33333333333333E-02, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 100, WhiteBalance: manual white balance

Sometimes it is hard to be on the outside looking in; other times one feels like they are all cooped up in the inside looking out. And then sometimes one is just inside out. sometimes one feels blue and wishes he had the "gold" of life. And then sometimes one just feels all wet and the other just all dried out!...:):)
Stacy what a neat shot!! Hope you don't mind my dialog. Just to maybe make someone smile.
