Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I didn't reseed the wildflower bed last fall so this year the rudbekias (blacked-susans) took over and they are beautiful. This particular flower seemed to be waving to me so I shot him :0) #590886Carolina K. Smith June 12, 2004

THis is a winner, Murry! THe soft flowing lines from zone of focus...brilliant shot! I think one of your best yet!And so are the pancakes at Polly's Pancake Parlor~!! What a memorable breakfast! Man...from now on I make MY pancakes with stone ground organic flours. THey are worth the effort and expense. My husband wants me to thank you for educating me on Polly's Pancakes. We went twice in the weekend. I also bought mixes for my family. Should have bought some for me too! What a fantastic eating experience...I can't wait to go back.
We have decided that going to Polly's Pancakes will be tradition for us everytime we go to VErmont. It was 1-1/4 hour from my daughter's location in Brownington, Vt. Thanks so much!! #621254
