They are all black right now Doug, but will be grey once they are completed.

edit: because they are links, it wouldn't let me color them grey. I've italicised them instead.

Good evening Young lady!

I haven't seen a lot of mentioning on CLOUDS!!! We've all layed on a grassy bank and stared up and them, looked at them and everyone has seen bunnys, birds, whales, etc. etc, etc. in them.

How about a Theme on Clouds?

Just a suggestion and a tiny, little question?

Dakota

Ok! How about a shot with the reflection of Athena and Judy, riding dolfins through the Milky Way in one of Mr. Pickle's eye? Say his right eye!

Hummmmmmmm! Sound ok to me!

Dakota

Of course I would do it but I just broke my latter!

My smart pants and I have added "eyes" to the list Ken.

But I am not going to model on a dolphin in the milkyway. That's where I draw the line.

Laycey would say that only my ego can eclpes my talent! That is my talent for sticking my foot in my mouth clear up to my knee and sometimes hip!!

B U T ! I will try to get some type of reflections. Now who is dumb enough to let me try this. You know Laycey will say, "Heck, you got yourself into this! Now you darn well can get yourself OUT!!"

OH WELL! Just when I was getting my hopes up too!! Well, how about a Quarter Horse down Main Street in Cyrstal Lake, IL>? Or drive a BMW 330i Convertable down Rodeo Drive in LA?

Could have posibilities!

Athena, considering that fog season is just starting here I think that I could arrange a few macro photographs. All I need to do is wait until it is thick enough.
