Thanks so much for your complimentary feedback Dan, Barbara, Jeff, Jennifer, and Tarun (also Margie and Joan for the former un-cropped version, which I replaced with this so as to place more focus on the dog). I was in a perfect location to catch Ruthie's expressions, since her terrace was directly opposite ours, and all it took was a little zoom. #3209517Jenny D August 27, 2006
