Oh I knew that - I meant the larger "you" :)

I found the shot but haven't scanned it yet -- not quite as
close to yours
as I remembered but I'll show it anyway.

Not for me. For the "cancer babies" as Lisa calls them (in pediatrics, anyone
under age 20 is a "baby"). As a pathologist, she only sees the patients when she
does the diagnosis (when she does the fine needle aspirate, actually), after
which they get turned over to the oncologists for treatment. She keeps in touch
with the oncologists in many cases but doesn't hear many happy stories with the
sarcomas in which she specializes :(

That was taken about a quarter of a mile from my house (although I had to hike
about a mile through the local trails to get there). Love that SMC-A 20/2.8!

Mark - lots of nice stuff - hope it brings in the bucks for
you.  One of the stormy cloud shots quite startled me - I
swear it was the
same cloud formation I photoed in Kansas! i'll dig it up and
post it for you.
THe flowers here among my faves here, by the way. 

Best,

With a couple of flower shots thrown in just for Mike Johnston ;-)

(Actually, the flower shots were all taken with my K2 only for the purpose of
checking the light meter accuracy after I recalibrated it. I was pretty
surprised at how nice they came out so I decided to use several on my web page
and on this project.)
