Oh my GOODNESS, Debby. I cannot evey HOPE to find words to compliment you enough on this capture. It has a VERY PROMISING future, as far as I can see. The capture itself is absolutely remarkable...and then it just gets better. A favorite, of course. #10792624Michelle Alton August 01, 2013
When I click the little "favorite" heart the link went to some other photo--not yours. A glitch, I guess. #10792626Jeffrey R. Bange August 01, 2013
