Wow! I can't imagine "losing" this one, either -- it's a fantastic macro! I think all of us who live where winter hits hard are digging around in our piles of older photos. And according to Phil, we've got to suffer through 5 more weeks of this awful stuff! #7141187

Nikki McDonald February 08, 2009
