I do the same thing, and Jamie is right. I sometimes make assumptions that someone knows that something is when they don't because they've never seen it--or what I wrote can be interpreted a different way. When I originally explained how a tightrope walker held the balance bar I said vertically, forgetting that that cold have been two different ways. Fortunately, the question and answer took place here on the list and Shelley was more specific and I was able to correct it. Now I try to be really careful and specific. But when the pictures have captions, I usually just put the caption, because it usually explains the picture as well as necessary. It's in children's picture books that most of the problems arise. smile Cindy --- Jamie Yates <jamieyates@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Cindy Lou, when I scan a book with pictures, I try > to describe the picture.
