Thanks so much!

Betty...I have a Rebel XT and some day will upgrade. I use a 50mm most of the time, but I borrowed my brothers 10-20mm for most of these shots and a few are with a 75-300.

When we were there, we bought our tickets and there was also a bar type set-up where people were buying coronas. The rest of the week when we arrived at Red Hook, we had to walk around the building.
