Thanks for your comment. I've cropped it a bit and do think it looks better.

Yes, that is nice. But it isn't just the mods.

oops, sorry. Didn't notice that you pointed that out in your comment.

oooooook... Got rid of the grass. Got rid of the sky. Man, do you guys live in the middle of Manhatten or something? (actually, I think it DOES look better)

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

Thanks, I found this lovely tree that really attracted the butterflies. I particularly liked this image because of the unusual angle of the butterfly.

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that. We met the family this summer and they said that the little one can swim. Although it is not actually attached to him, the paddle board itself serves as a giant life preserver. I am from a generation that actually survived going swimming without a life vest and sometimes the restrictions now placed on our children in the name of keeping them "safe" has only served to aid in them not doing ANYTHING. How do you know how to react when you fall in the water if it has never happened to you? It is usually wise to wear one, I agree, so not really defending them, but considering the state of the sea, sometimes common sense says it is much more fun and cooler in the hot sun without one.

Pardon the rant.
