Thanks...

I appreciate the kind words very much, but truth be told, I don't have an artistic bone in my body!
I often think my efforts lag far behind some of the great photos I see posted on these pages. My composition is poor and unimaginative, but all the folks who post great pics here are motivating me to do better..
I find it similar to my clay target career... I always shot better scores on a squad with talented shooters... They pushed me to do better.
Same effect here.

Thanks once again for the encouragement, but I'm just trying to keep pace with all the talented folks here!
