Hi David, Perhaps if you were an explorer of the wild west a 100 years ago, you would have named that lake "Broken Finger Lake", or something like that.....Get well soon.....! Glad it doesn't hamper your ability to press the shutter! To think that so much of our environment is changing right in our midst, due to global warming that is increasing its effects in exponential fashion in some areas.....that's really sad. However, this has been going on for decades and we are just seeing the cumulative effects reach some kind of threshold. Closer to 'home', we see names in new housing subdivisions like "Pheasant Run" or "Possum Trail", but the former only has black crows and the latter has your neighbor's cat". Thank goodness I still see deer families in the SF peninsula, and occasional raccoons and possums, as well as hear the woodpecker hard at work on a telephone pole. BTW here's a boat in a pond that Philippe and Xavier may be familiar with....its at Monet's famous garden in Giverny. Taken several years ago and low-res scanned, then my itchy fingers started playing with Corel PhotoPaint. More to come......artistic streak at computerized impressionism from yours truly ;-) ! ~ Eric ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/lrflex.htm Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
