Re: PESO: Lee Mansion
I was impressed some years ago when we visited the Mississippi locks at the Rock Island Arsenal. On the maps of the waterway was the name of Robert E. Lee - the surveying officer for the maps.

Re: PESO: Lee Mansion
Dan, Of course you know that was Lee's family home and lands. Arlington National Cemetery was established there after/during the civil war as punishment for Lee, so it looked out on the war dead.

Re: K5 SD door broken
Charles, Had a problem with the door on my *istD (My dropping it). Repair was $200+ on the weather sealed door. Hope they have improved design since then. Repair had to take apart a large part of the shell to fix it. I should have just used black duc tape after the super glue failed. Regards, Bob S.

Re: PESO- Hepatica
Mark, The blue hepatica is wonderful. I love the blue pedals in the blossom. I appreciate the sharpness overall and in the central core. And the little hairs on the stem and green parts - only with stacking! The leaves image looks very natural and not processed. You went a long way for this, but the result is worth it. It's always nice to look at your images. I always learn things. Regards, Bob S.
