I'm blushing! Thanks, Moose. My ego needed a bit of a boost after my first
roll of bathing bird shots turned out to be a bust. :-( I'm still waiting on
the Kodachrome.
I too find some TOPE subjects more inviting than others. But because I am one
of the world's most undisciplined, disorganized and often scatterbrained
people, I need the occasional fix of an "assignment" to keep me from going
completely native. TOPE seems to provide just the right dosage.
Oh, and since I started this thread, I took the liberty of correcting the "Re"
line, as Gary suggested. It IS what I really meant, being still, all these
years later, under the influence of the Lone Ranger.
