Re: PESO - Scotch Mist

Thanks, Ann. The thick mist moistens the flora (and everything else) so differently than rain. The drops don't roll off, they just "grow" and slowly accumulate, and don't seem to roll off. Makes for lots of beauty but you really have to get up close. Quickly walk by and you'll miss it. Thanks

Re: PESO - Fifty for the Flag - Happy Canada Day!

Good luck with the new flag. As I already said, I think we have a wonderful flag, and we certainly could have done worse: http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com//news/canada/the-flags-we-could-have-had-a-look-at-the-forgotten-runners-up-to-canadas-beloved-maple-leaf C

Re: PESO - Mike and the Kid

Yeah, it's just barely off his head here. In some shots it's flying off, but there were issues with each of those that make them unusable. The whole backwards cap thing is silly. Except if you have a flash on top of your camera. Which Mike clearly doesn't have here. Maybe he's worried about sun
