<p>Rick,<br>

Sorry to hear of your best friend Billy's passing. <br>

That photo of Billy and his best friend Molly, to me, says "Peaceful".<br>

That is just beautiful. </p>

<p>One more image from last Saturday morning. This was at Sauvie Island near Portland, Oregon. A doting father photographs his excited young daughter atop a pyramid of hay bales.</p><div></div>

<p>One of the things I miss out on by living on the West Coast is the beautiful trees. This week's photos look great!<br>

This week I was going through my pictures. I found a few I took of a kid busking out near San Francisco's Union Square.</p>

<p>Nikon D40 + 18-200 @ 1/15.... sometimes VR chooses to do something funky and make unintended great photos for me.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, lots of really superb photos contributed this week! Rick, so sorry about the loss of your friend. <br>

Last Thursday, we set a record temperature for Oct.; 104 degrees, so I headed to South Padre Island for the weekend where it was a bit cooler (not much though). Here are some of the characters I ran into...</p>

<p>Thank you very much, Issac. I am very impressed by your photo of the stream. It is so simple and elegant. A pleasure to rest the eyes on.</p>

[User_5050610]

<p>Doug Santo--an absolutely beautiful clock! And a great photo to boot..<br>

You are quite the craftsman..Messrs Greene and Greene would be proud.<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday, all!<br>

A shot from a couple weekends ago at one of the World Wide Photo Walk locations, Harpers Ferry, WV. Although it's mostly a national park there are parts that have a rather nice 'rustic' look. </p><div></div>

It's so hard to lose a friend, very sorry Rick</p><div></div>

<p>This past Saturday I finally had a chance to take my new camera for a spin under the lights at my son's football game. All in all a good evening as they whooped up on their opponent because of plays like this one.</p>

<p>I caught this from a spider web near my garage door few days ago. Next day it was gone, the spider is much smaller than the grasshopper. Hand held, heavy cropped.</p><div></div>
